		<description>Hi Ben,

Thanks so much for your kind comment! I really appreciate it. I find the whole UrbanSpoon leadership a bit ... well, overhyped as I mentioned in my post. I write about a broad variety of topics, and really my leadership was really something that might have been relevant a while ago, not now. 

I appreciate that you mention that I have your respect, you have mine too, as you know :)

All the best,
Raul</description>

		<description>Hi Raul: I was out for dinner with a few foodie blogger tonight (including Sherman and Kim Ho).  I did not realize you blogged about this but during the dinner, Urbanspoon and your post about this was brought up.  I am with you 100% and had brought this matter up strongly to Ethan just last month.  The rankings are bogus and anyone can manufacture them.  If you want me to I can boost you way to #1 -- just ask ... LOL!  You have my respect!
