Apologies due to Porkys 1982

[bigfatlove06]

I think it is important to own up to bad behavior. I threw shade on Ben Escobedo maybe 10 or 15 years ago because I was ignorant about how important it is to get credit for your work. I thought at the time that we should all remain anonymous and give the glory to the Beasties. That's what worked best back then, when we traded in secret and leveraged video content for trade. All Ben ever did was be a super fan and put his name on his content. That, in retrospect, is admirable. So Ben, from me to you, I'm sorry for gatekeeping because I thought that anonymity was a badge of honor.

I also am guilty of this. Ben is cool in my book. Sorry I was a chump about it. This is well said.
