There are times that I struggle with wrapping my head around topics like the this, thank you for summing it up well. Thanks!

I'm not the one trying to make a case of connections between my article and the credit agencies. You are. And you've failed to make that case, in part because you didn't bother to e-mail me before you wrote your piece. I'm not being arrogant -- I'm being frustrated that bloggers like you don't choose to research what you write. ray Go to Arrington’s site and read what I posted there.

If you think my post, or Arrington's, has some problem, let us know. Being arrogant and trying to make a distinction between bloggers and reporters doesn't help make your case, making your case does. Let's hear it. If you need help getting started, here's one way you could do it: Publish somewhere (in print or here if you can lower yourself to write for a blog) the story behind the story. Tell us about who first contacted you about the story. Did you get a package of PDFs anonymously? Make the case that you are sure that no credit agency shill was behind your story. Nobody is trying to say Maynard is a saint. That said, Arrington raised some legitimate questions about the motivation of whoever leaked that story. Ray,

I never received an e-mail from Credit Card VC or Arrington before they wrote this "rest of the story nonsense." Bloggers aren't reporters, that's for sure. That’s funny.

It's likely that a lot of people realized what liars and crooks these guys are and spilled the beans. Whether you think Maynard's bankruptcies are relevant is your own opinion, but when a man defrauds lenders and legitimate businesses, uses his father's identity and is then held up as a victim by his company and investors who claim to know the truth, that casts a shadow on the entire company not just the founder, who incidently, still works for them as a consultant. LifeLock has no credibility. They are just a marketing scam. When I investigated options to protect myself, my first consideration was reputatation. When I learned that RelyData (www.relydata.com) was the only company recommended by the credit bureaus, that told me a lot, and I'd found a solution provider.
