At that time, the media wasn't even the postcard-invite list.OtherMichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654300225363992786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-78053006190094559762009-02-19T15:30:00.000-07:002009-02-19T15:30:00.000-07:00Oh, and even if I were relying on income from the ...Oh, and even if I were relying on income from the blog (the tip jar is open!), I'd still have opinions, and you'd still hear about them.caheidelbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03261598066395322681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-67161619755829735462009-02-19T15:28:00.000-07:002009-02-19T15:28:00.000-07:00Make money?

Except we have more readers.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the props.<BR/><BR/>I also remember someone telling me last summer on the shores of beautiful Lake Herman that we should be more worried about impact than pageviews as local bloggers. I think you are a great example of impact over book sales. <BR/><BR/>Just keep bloggin' baby! You've got something to say and worth hearing. Now, if we could all just figure out a way to make a little more money at this!<BR/><BR/>Todd Epp<BR/>SD Watch http://www.southdakotawatch.netTell Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16500891722896294455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-39249420847696093632009-02-19T07:26:00.000-07:002009-02-19T07:26:00.000-07:00Your man, Hunter, has never put forth an opinion i...Your man, Hunter, has never put forth an opinion in all the years he has been editor. His opinion editorials are fluffy, no teeth, no commitment. He probably can't afford to lose subscribers, where you aren't relying on an income from your blog, so you have little to lose, other than differing opinions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
