Nah, you did very good there. 
I would also have told you if you had done otherwise. :twisted:
The point is, that so-called OSR was, as a principle, a good idea.
However, a lot of people seem to think that name recognition and nostalgia equal quality. Which they don't.
I am pretty annoyed about it actually, because I spent money on stuff that proved to be unimaginative and poorly executed random crap; that people would even bother to publish some of it, is beyond me.
If they had been less "I need to become a published author", and more "I am gonna do something that helps the gaming community", the game would be better off than with random PDF downloads.
I mean, who still runs a blog like Havard, for example? - Just the stuff he has put out would have made for TEN sourcebooks.
