An explanation.
Hi, my name is Carl and I'm the guy you're all disappointed with. I want to apologize for any misunderstanding that came from my big announcement. I had no idea it was being discussed over here until this morning and I certainly didn't know the context. I never claimed it was anything about Disney and never posted or urged anyone to post anything over here.
As soon as I heard someone thought the announcement was about discounts I posted a note in my blog clarifying that any announcement I would make would be about my site and not about Disney or discounts.
This was not a ploy to get my traffic up. I get plenty of traffic without having to resort to gimmicks.
Again please accept my apologies for any misunderstanding.
