		<description>If I dig long enough will I reach you, DJ?

Whatever. You act as if the 10 seconds it takes me to come here and post is some indication that I got nothing else going on in my life.</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s seriously hoping that one day, for whatever reason, you actually can grow up just in the slightest, and that maybe some day you&#039;ll have some semblance of actual responsibility in life. With these kind of posts, you&#039;re just wasting it and making yourself look like a tool. Keep on digging!</description>

		<description>Whatever DJ. You exposed confidential information for the same reason everyone else did: personal benefit.

You&#039;re the one acting holier than thou. I guess we&#039;re all supposed to forget that you were a die-hard cheerleader that slime-factory now that you&#039;re an &quot;activist.&quot;

suck it.</description>

		<description>I only expose confidential information when it&#039;s for no good sonsabitches up to things. The reason it surprised me about them using Chris&#039;s stats, because in light of everything coming out, it made me think maybe there was something more going on or that was being done on purpose to rope in more webcomic creators even though they knew it wasn&#039;t going to hold or be the norm. But I don&#039;t think there was anything diabolical going on now. You&#039;re right, people leak confidential information all the time. I guess it matters as to why you&#039;re doing it... to make a profit, or to expose the truth or raise a red flag.</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t you have better things to do then troll around shitting on people left and right or putting on your &quot;holier than thou&quot; cap? Maybe go play a video game or something, chief.</description>

		<description>God, Chris. I haven&#039;t talked about, let alone given two shits, about anything you&#039;ve been doing in years. This is hardly a return to the glory days of 1998-2001.</description>

		<description>I think there&#039;s a big difference between announcing your personal salary (which I&#039;ve NEVER done) and announcing the amount of ad revenue (or ad-related ebook revenue) generated by your company during a given period.  That sort of thing isn&#039;t limited solely to public companies traded on the stock market, and it&#039;s much-appreciated information to certain folks studying the burgeoning, mysterious webcomics field.

That said, Keenspot hasn&#039;t publicly announced any revenue figures for at least four years (as far as I&#039;m aware).  And WOWIO&#039;s contract is with Blatant Comics, not Keenspot, despite what that PUBLISHERS WEEKLY article says.  Blatant&#039;s WOWIO figures were only released publicly because they had been previously announced by a since-fired WOWIO recruiter/editor and I was specifically asked for an update by multiple journalists covering this story.

So to state that I regularly go around publicly &quot;bragging&quot; about my revenue figures is a bit laughable.  It&#039;s from the &quot;My Pet Peeves About Chris Crosby&quot; list that Mr. Kurtz likes to drag out every once in awhile for old times&#039; sake.
