  Thank you letter to Gamespot

  Here is the letter I wrote to Gamespot:
  
  Hi Gamespot. I know you've probably been flooded with email and phone calls the last week due to the situation with Jeff Gerstmann. I just wanted to send in my regards and say I'm terribly sorry to see all the craziness that has gone on over the last week. I realize this is a lot harder on the staff, editors, and all the other hard workers at Gamespot than it is on the community. Not only was he a stand out editor who led by example but was a close friend and family member Gamespot. I just want to let you know that the community has got your back and we'll support the Gamespot staff through this. Thanks for being "real" on the Hotspot yesterday and expressing your thoughts and feelings with the community. This is one of the reasons why Gamespot has been so great, we feel we're apart of the family as well. I wish all the staff at Gamespot the best and I know you'll get through this. The staff at Gamespot is the best I've seen for any website on the net and there are many wonderful people who still work there. Never forget your roots and continue to honor the legacy and vision that Greg Kasavin and Jeff Gerstmann had for Gamespot. Thanks for your continued integrity and I look forward to Jeff's tribute on On The Spot tomorrow. Cheers!
  
  EDIT: I've edited this blog since we should be supportive of the Gamespot staff. It's time to be positive and encourage the staff.
  
  EDIT 2: My apologies to JaMeS4418, Cooldude224 and other readers as this post completely changed. I'm still mad at CNET as this was their fault to begin with. I changed the post mostly because I was sick of all the negativity I was seeing. Considering the emotions I just saw from the On the Spot show (just aired), I stand firm that we should back the staff during this hard time.

  Happy 10th Anniversary Mars Pathfinder!

  In addition to the Fourth of July celebration that we have here in America (ya fireworks!), we can also celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Pathfinder landing on Mars (July 4th, 1997). Truthfully, it's hard to believe 10 years have already passed! It really seems like just a little while ago the entire world was watching and wondering if this mission would be a success. But, despite so many unknowns, the team of scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory were not only successful in landing Pathfinder, but the little rover, Sojourner, also made it to Mars intact. And of course, the rest is history...
  
  
  There is a tribute to the 10th anniversary on JPL's Mars Exploration website. If you're like me though and want to relive history again, the original Pathfinder website is *still* on the internet! The original webpage is here and it certainly brings back memories. In fact, I know that July 4, 1997 will be a day I will never forget. Any of you still remember the day Pathfinder landed on Mars?
