    But who is this Dan Marong person and why are half the threads and stickied threads created by him? Is he with S2 or something? Sly? Denny?

    Serious answer: a BlazersEdge guy who now has a podcast via the official radio station of the Blazers, involving the hosts of the official morning sports radio show of the Blazers, and is trying to cross-promote his podcast by integrating and interacting with the official fan forum of the Blazers.

    Well, I wouldn't have quite said it like that but yeah, that's the gist.

    No disrespect taken @HCP - it's an honest question considering I haven't been here/visible for all that long. The short of it is I'm a long time analyst who's been writing for a while in different places and the guys from 620AM asked if I was interested in doing a podcast with them. I wanted to share that process with the Blazers fan community, and while I've been actively engaged with a lot of the community I haven't been a part of this particular one. It's nothing more than wanting to engage another group of fans and generate some more discussion about our mutual fandom.

    If you've got any questions at all- please don't hesitate to drop me a line.

    -Dan

    Right on man, just curious. I don't listen to local sports radio, I just didn't know what you were all about.

    No worries man- I'm a small fish in a really big pond and I just try to add a bit more to the conversation than the usual back and forth. :twothumbs:

    HCP...it's ok man. Now I understand you might get defensive when a newbie actually does drop some knowledge here...I've enjoyed the threads.

    Obviously; half of promoting yourself is presenting yourself as a fan first and a salesman second. Insular groups like ours see through that pretty easily, though.

    Now me, I was clever. I posted with many in this group for 18 years over a mailing list and three different forums before I dropped my sales pitch on them. They totally think I'm a fan!

    Anyone who knows me know how much of a fan I am. And while some folks may be getting some clicks off my content at multiple sites- not that it's anyone's business- but I don't make a penny. I do this stuff because I love it, not because I want to sell it.

    EDIT: To clarify - I'm not trying to be a jerk here, but a few people have insinuated I'm here to make a buck. That's unequivocally not the case.

    FWIW, I don't care if you do make a buck. You're not doing it by spamming links.

    We have quite a few people with links to their site in their signature.
