But even if they did, so what? We live in a capitalist society. So why is making money being used as evidence in and of itself of deception, corruption, or conspiracy? I also think Jake Crosby should look at Orac's latest blog, which by Crosby's logic must mean that Orac is a shill for Suzanne Somers: http://scienceblogs.com/insolence/2009/10/this_must_go_now.php Trianz, as numerous science bloggers have pointed out, they don’t make much money at all off of their blogs.
