I actually never said that your library partnered with Netflix. Instead, I said your library was "using Netflix as a supplement" and then quoted text you had up on your website at the time about the experiment your library was doing with netflix rentals. Then I mentioned my dealing with Real's Rhapsody service, and how libraries COULD partner with corporate content providers. Hope that clears things up. Feel free to add more comments here - how did your experiment go? Why are you clarifying/commenting/emailing bloggers who spoke about your experiment? Inquiring minds want to know...
