I think it was two different hysterical anonymouses. I'm still confused as to who design sponge works for. Lockhart Steele's NY Times article says: "For example, Grace Bonney, 23, works for a public relations firm that represents Vitra and other design outfits, and she acknowledged that she writes about some of her clients' products on her blog, Design Sponge (designsponge.blogspot.com), without disclosing that she is paid to promote them." According to Bonney, the Times corrected that she does disclose the relationship (although based on some of the quotes you found I don't know why they would), but was the Times also wrong about who employs her? Is it Vitra or a PR firm hired by Vitra, presumably with other clients and products that can be flacked?
