Hi: Probably worth a moment of discussion on this topic. First, though, you're a fine fellow, Doc. We all love you.
Your ethics are yours, not someone else's. Apologies are not expected.
When someone starts down the path of accepting money to blog about a company, or event, from the company or event promoter, she needs to stop a moment and look ahead. At some point down that road, there is a pot hole that is called, "If I'm not paid, maybe I'm not interested." A little further down that road, is another pot hole that is called, "Will this be paying me at some point, if I'm interested?" And, yet further down that road, is yet another pot hole that is called, "If I'm not sure about whether I'll be paid at some point, I'm definitely not interested, and possibly I'll expect others not to be interested, as well."
It's a bumpy road, Doc. Best of luck.
Thanks,
