She is not annoying. She is a very well spoken, well researched, unbiased journalist who is far more versed in Silk Road then any writer/journalist/media personality that I have found who claims themselves as an "authority" on Silk Road/Dread Pirate Roberts. I know for a *fact* that Dread Pirate Roberts was rather candid (and guarded) with her in their correspondence and I for one will be purchasing her book when it is released. From what I understand, she does not "make a lot of money talking about Silk Road" in the least.. and a lot of her research/efforts come from her own pocket. That said, I hope she does make a lot of money from her book, as she deserves to.
