The problem with going totally silent on other people's blogs and restricting corrections to this list is that not everyone - even the majority of our users - read these lists. If you see a post somewhere that is inaccurate, it may be a good idea to leave a polite comment that provides the correct information or refutes any misinformation. That doesn't mean engaging in a tit-for-tat campaign with folks who are obviously trying to flame CloudStack. As Noah says, we "win" on that front by producing a better project not by having the loudest FUD machine. We can't correct *every* mistake, but if you see something that's obviously wrong or outdated, it may be a good idea to *politely* comment and give the correct information. > cf. http://xkcd.com/386/ I do so love that cartoon...
