I think the board has a lot of influence over the newspaper. Mention it here and it shows up in the paper. Sort of like a suggestive sell at a fast food restaurant. Would you like an order of fries with that?
I agree. The News Journal follows this message board very closely.

Back when the News Journal wanted you shut down you had about 3,000 posts. You are now up to over 7,500. Congrats for hanging in there. You just seem to get more and more participants. I have friends in Richmond who love this message board.

Not really. If you think about it everything in the newspaper and on this message board is old news. If it is news to you then you are behind the times. Take the Engineer St bridge for example. All you had to do is have breakfast at the right place and you could have gotten the scoop on it long before it became public. Someone probably heard it being talked about and ran home to post on the message board that the city should do something about the Engineer St bridge. Nothing originates on the message board. The topics are mostly re-active not pro-active.

That is why America is such a great nation. We don't have to always agree with people like you. And you don't have to agree with those of us who appreciate this message board. You seem to use it and must enjoy it as well

It's great to have you two brains on this message board. Thanks for your greatness in knowing all things. I am really impressed. I didn't find out about your greatness on this message board. I ate breakfast at the "right place" the other morning and they told me all about you.
