1. There are 15 solid posters who comment and chat the fool.com, why don’t you hang out there (rhetorical)?
2. You assume that we have less of an audience now. You might be happy about SA picking up your articles but, as you admit it only SEEMS counterproductive and we must have our reasons.
3. Lets try and keep the comments section, simply comments and on topic (I am talking to all). Any further questions or replies can be handled via the forums.
4. For the record, I never read SW and don’t ever plan to. I honestly wish people would stop emailing me about the inaccuracies.

I spend just as much time addressing lies here, as I do SW, or SA, or MF, or yahoo boards. Or any where they allow poster comments. I call these journals, I call the NASDAQ about fat finger trades, and fight with my broker almost daily. So to say your “worried about facts” as you see, is inconsistant. I day your “worried about facts, if its coming from SW only”.
Hence, it seems personal.

Unwarrented might be the wrong word. Maybe, misfocused. Due to readership numbers, you would be more worried about lies from major newspapers. Never read one article from you about the CNET add service 2wice printing BK or old debt articles on price surges. So I interpret that as you either dont care, or dont have to time to adress bs, and lies. But you have time if its from SW. So your inconsistant.

PS. My “me’s” above, is really about 15 posters too, who dont let facts get swept away by speculation. There are plenty of counter opinions offered, and factual information offered on SW for information to be credible. Ive read 100 articles by WSJ, Barrons, and Street.com, and Motely fool that are so full of errors and lies, YOUR ATTENTION TO SW is unwarrented. Go out and counter articles like I do, and spread your facts. Your facts now have less of an audience now that SB isnt using your articles anymore, per your request. Which seems counter productive to me, but you obviously have your reasons. If I ran a site, and SA picked up some of my articles, and changed the names, and took link credit, or whatever, I would say o well, at least they general populous gets at least some good information. But whatever, thats not the point of this discussion.

Thanks for that information. Im glad they list the app in other categories. Why I said its apples and oranges. Apparently Cos1000(as posted elsewhere) and John also agree with me.

obviously i am making the assumption that the order is based on popularity/downloads.

Yes, he has put out bad information. I was voiceful in my opinion that the LIberty deal was non reversable. If you remember, even before the site split, I was the number 1 advocator of it being a done deal. To stop worrying about it going away, or getting a better offer, or a buyout from someone else. I said it was never going to happen. As for what debt would be paid with the notes, I also said there was no way in hell the 2014 debt would be touched with ANY of that money. That is a sort of speculation, and if someone wants to think 150 million of that and stock is going to wipe that out, then let there delusions continue. Thats an opinion. About the R/S, I disagree with Brandon too, and say it everytime.
About positive sub numbers, I drank a bit of koolaid, but it wasnt SW koolaid, it was the jerk Tuna. He is usually very conservative, I didnt know he was just saying that to set up a bull trap. No one did. Except you and few others too knowledgeable about how subs are counted to allow that. Thank you. You helped convince me that day to have my finger on the sell button, and it paid off for me. Not the only reason, but one of them. So i thank you for keeping me grounded.
You dont take chances however. By taking chances, I mean being the first to speculate on a possibility. I like that kind of journalism personally, as an investor, as it is more helpful to me to keep ahead of the game. I am smart enough to discredit bad specualation, and I hope all readers are. Why we exchange and debate the articles after they are written. To offer counter points.

So to imply you should rate them as compared to where Pandora is, is a bad guide. I think its impressive to be anywhere near a free app that popular(musicwise). Where would SiriusXM rate as a sports app? Talk radio app? How about a live concert app? Since its all of those, they could be on many lists. They are on a music app, but its only one part of there service. Talk radio, concerts, personalities, comedy shows, and news, etc…

if you would search the app store or itunes, you would find that siriusxm is the #1 app (paid or free) on talk radio category. it is 3rd on comedy (1st in free) and somewhere around 25th (paid and free) in the news category.3rd in personalities(free app is 1st).. i think this is all related to how siriusxm app is tagged tho. i didnt find the app under the concerts category. but all you have to do is type a keyword in search and if sirius or apple has tagged that word , then the sirius app will appear in that ranking.
