[![Flightblogger](https://i1.wp.com/www.onemanandhisblog.com/content/images/2008/02/flighblogger-site-thumb-150x128.png?resize=150%2C128)](https://i0.wp.com/www.onemanandhisblog.com/content/images/2008/02/flighblogger-site.png?ref=onemanandhisblog.com)A few months back, [*Flight International*](http://www.flightglobal.com/home/default.aspx?ref=onemanandhisblog.com), one of our most successful publishing divisions, hired a well-known blogging in the aerospace industry, Jon Ostrower aka [Flightblogger](http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/flightblogger/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com), to come blog for us. And it’s been a great success. He’s by far the most trafficked blogger in that market, and is regularly vying for the position of most popular blog we have with the [*New Scientist* blogs](http://www.newscientist.com/blogindex.ns?ref=onemanandhisblog.com).

So, trebles all round in [RBI’s palatial blogging HQ](http://www.flickr.com/photos/adders/2249847619/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com)? Well, pretty much, to be honest.

However, one of the team just stumbled over something rather interesting: [Flightbloggercritic](http://flightbloggercritic.blogspot.com/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com). Essentially, a one post blog, the self-proclaimed critic rails against Ostrower’s ways of working:

> *Besides being irked by the fact that [flightblogger](http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/flightblogger?ref=onemanandhisblog.com)* 
> *doesn’t see the need to disclose his “sources”, nor will he ever, (so* 
> *why is it we believe what he’s putting out there?), I’m amazed that* 
> *Boeing isn’t doing “damage control” (which might be a good indication* 
> *the info is accurate or has been “placed”) and more flabberghasted that* 
> *it has someone running around taking pictures and sending off* 
> *potentially damaging information in a secure facility.*

That first sentence there raises the possibility that the flightblogger critic may actually be an anonymous journalist somewhere within the team, annoyed at the attention given to a non-journalist…

The path of true traffic gains never runs smooth.
