Hello Evan -
Whoa! I usually ignore online blogs, but this morning a friend tipped me off to the Newstoday thing. Yikes. I was just taking the holiday to do a few updates around the studio... my team thought updating my personal site was timing.We never sent out a press release or even told others in the office... we were simply testing a new site. The site is intended for the eyes of 45 year old corporate brand managers... It is strange that there are post declaring me a "genius" and others declaring me the "devil".... since I had nothing to do with this. I wrote to you because you seemed to be the only one that pointed out the logical fact that someone ELSE posted this stuff. I was initially flattered but then realized that the initial public post actual insulted half the design community. For the record I do actually design when it is appropriate to do so... I spent 10 years "designing"... advertising, product dev, graphics, architecture, fashion, even a little transportation design... but now, outside of my own personal brands, I stick to the strategic consulting... better pay. Well, I cant believe a just wrote this email to a complete stranger... but felt compelled.
Regards,
David Gensler, President

I apologized for not realizing he was a designer. Then I explained most of the hate in the thread was directed at "son", not his new site.Now this thread can die.
