@Dr. Mike Wendell – Matt has fessed up to making mistakes in the past, including the one you mentioned that dealt with spamming. It’s not as if that was his intention. He made a mistake early on in the project and I don’t see any reason to keep raking him over the fire for a mistake he made years ago. It’s comments like yours that don’t do anyone in the WordPress community any good. I don’t consider Ma.tts personal blog entries in the dashboard to be considered spam either.

Matt’s just sore they he lost his beloved position in the default blogroll. That’s why links are present (and have been for quite some time) at wp.org and wp.com, both the site as well as the forums.

He’s been caught spamming before. This isn;t the first time and I doubt it’ll be the last.

Would be more interesting if Matt’s feed were restricted to just WordPress content like other main dev’s feeds.

Then again, why does only Matt have a footer link on WP.org?

Yup, totally agree. If it’s not Wordpress then I don’t want it in my Wordpress feed. Category filtering is easy.

I have thought of removing that feed from my dashboard; but then I might miss something that does matter.
