As I said, I'm not a Techdirt reader. However, just going to http://www.techdirt.com/index.php?edition=itinnovation blind, I would not assume any such independence at all.

Admittedly, that's a slightly different issue.

We have total editorial independence. They get their logos on the top on the right, and the rightto list resources in the righthand bar. We have total editorial independence on the content of the actual blog posts, and have said that repeatedly. They get to see the posts, same as everyone else does. The only thing that Sun and Intel employees get is that when they comment on posts, their comments are highlighted. But that's it.

I'm willing to believe you. I'm simply saying that just looking at that page without knowing anything else would give me the expectation that this was an Intel/Sun organ, not an independent site.
