<t>I went into this with an open mind. Tried very hard to keep my expectations low. And it was a good thing. I sat there and kept thinking.."oh you almost got it..nope lost it".

I don't really see it an any different from someone naming a star wars fan blog the Imperial Senate or a trek blog federation council... I saw it as a tribute from where the blogger came from in gaming not as him trying to claim to be one of the 'original'. But that is just me.
