1. Not sure where you'r...In response to John:<br /><br />1. Not sure where you're going with the need to make it clear that Peter and you became best friends if the readers, as you claim, are already familiar with this history. And this post (plus the upcoming one) was written in response to a "Secrets of the City" comment about wanting some of the basics of the NoMi blogosphere.<br /><br />2. Seeing as how my intended audience was looking for something perhaps rather general, I didn't see the need to put in "numerous links." That process is rather time-consuming as well. If you (or other readers) have links you'd like inserted, feel free to send me or post suggestions. I may indeed go back and add more links, but I clicked the publish button because I was satisfied with what I had written.<br /><br />3. Thanks Megan, for bringing John into the fray regarding JACC issues.<br /><br />4. I'm looking for where I said I was the first guest contributor to JNS, and I don't see that statement. However, it's implied enough that I have altered the post to include your point about Megan.<br /><br />5. Oh, my brilliance came up with all sorts of excellent blog names, all based off of Bob Dylan lyrics or Star Wars characters. In short, the kind of name that would be far to limited. I remember the Facebook chat brainstorming session where Bryan (or BTW as we often call him due to the dearth of Brian's and Bryan's in NoMi) came up with the name and I just about fell out of my chair.<br /><br />6. Thanks, and I do hope you write something like this from your perspective. Everyone catches little details that others miss, and I'm curious to see what those are in your case.Jeff Skreneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597476540441866248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382985764534737174.post-27683693545750947862011-03-09T20:19:43.172-06:002011-03-09T20:19:43.172-06:00OK, here are my comments.
1.) Anybody reading a ...OK, here are my comments. <br /><br />1.) Anybody reading a history is, almost by definition, unfamiliar with that history or at least SOME of that history. (If you knew the whole history already, why would you read it? Well, maybe for typos) So I want to make this clear: Peter Teachout became one of my best friends. <br /><br />2.) Numerous live links are needed to put this history in context and reference the various online sources and examples. This is a history that will stand for the ages. So cite sources.<br /><br />3.) It was Jordan Super Citizen Megan Goodmundson who alerted me about what was happening at the JACC board, knowing it needed to be put out in the public. Megan--who so often fills key roles behind the scenes, making things happen while others take credit or get credit--deserves her due in that regard. (Full historical disclosure: Megan is my girlfriend) <br /><br />4.) The first guest author on this blog was Megan, not Jeff. In fact, I was away trucking and Megan had administrative controls and was the one who actually approved Jeff as an author. At the time of the award by City Pages, guest authors included Megan, Jeff, and I believe maybe we had a few others at that time, too, actually. <br /><br />5. Jeff, I didn't know Bryan Thoa Worra came up with the name for your blog. I thought it was your own brilliance. I sure am glad you confessed.<br /><br />6. Keep up the great work. I expect the history will include the outcome of the current trial.Johnny Northside!https://www.blogger.com/profile/18182711866120550770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2382985764534737174.post-86070396191027375462011-03-09T19:13:58.696-06:002011-03-09T19:13:58.696-06:00I will be writing my own account at some point, bu...I will be writing my own account at some point, but thanks for this, Jeff.Johnny Northside!https://www.blogger.com/profile/18182711866120550770noreply@blogger.com
