Is my talent wasted?

As well as doing this blog, I am the exec ed of a new Aussie online medical newsletter and site called 6minutes, published by Reed-Elsevier, dubbed by some the evil empire of publishing.
Before that I was Medical Editor of Australian Doctor for around 8 years, where at least one doctor obviously thinks I should have remained.
Here's Dr Deepak Malhotra's email:
"What is the objective of 6 minutes?
Is it 1/10th of Sixty Minutes?
Apart from enhancing the CV's of Michael and Kerri what is its purpose? You might as well have the Kerri and Michael show on one of the Drs networks. Dr Parnell was doing a wonderful job on the previous publication. Now she might as well start writing for the Sunday Telegraph. As for you Michael, regrets specially when you waste editorial space on talking about your visit to the pharmacy. What is about editors and journalist that given a platform they seem to talk about everything. Next week Michael visits a Greek restaurant ands he tells us all about its decor. For gods sake get a life and stop publishing rubbish."

Ouch, oh well at least he's reading. From memory he's a stirrer from way back, and was the GP who took the pics on the Pfizer showboat, you've gotta love his work.

By the way, a shame the Pharmawatch blog is now invitation only. Last week I was chuffed to see Pharmawatch had linked to a 6minutes article.
Now I'm out of the group.
Michael, let me in!!!
