OFF-TOPIC-APOLOGY
I've gotten several messages regarding my rant in the other thread. Very awesome replies from some of the "Greats" of this board.
First off I'll say I'm not leaving the board. This, still, remains my favorite board, even over my premium memberships to both subscriber sites. There are so many people on here that are good people and bring a lot of points of view and/or info to this board.
I'm not against people expressing their opinion good or bad in any way. I feel though that there is a positive and negative way to do this. Some sites like O-live do it negatively. I feel we can all express concerns either in a positive manner or possibly even through PM'ing. It will keep this board above the others IMO.
I feel that a few people were unfairly attacked in other threads, thus resulting in my actions/words. This board is better than that, no one should feel unwelcome here unless they are a flamer.
Anyways let's not forget this is a free public board with one purpose:
TO SHARE INFORMATION REGARDING THE MIGHTY OREGON DUCKS WITH OTHER DUCK FANS!Last thing we need to do is turn on each other.
I'm off my soap box, don't bump this thread with replies, just read if you wish and move on back to news. And as always GO DUCKS

Jhop, you are one of my favorite reads. Keep up the good work. I - myself, am more comfortable playing the village idiot. It suits me.jhopduck wrote:I've gotten several messages regarding my rant in the other thread. Very awesome replies from some of the "Greats" of this board.

Re: OFF-TOPIC-APOLOGY
Jhop, keep your head up, keep supplying your great articles, hug your kid, and go watch some youtube videos of the Ducks v Michegan or Ducks v Huskies games from 2007 (my 2 all time favorite games). I'm not sure what rant you're talking about but we all like to do it sometimes so no worries!

Re: OFF-TOPIC-APOLOGY
Man, the fun just keeps getting sucked out of this place.
JHop ... you're one of the good ones ... I hope you continue to post here and can just ignore the leeches that are trying so hard to make this place no good anymore.

There's nothing to appologise for. I am with the obvious majority in their support of you continuing to "do what you do".

Re: OFF-TOPIC-APOLOGY
I think people would be a little less butt-hurt overall if posters were to be a little more descriptive in the title.. My 2-cents.

Re: OFF-TOPIC-APOLOGY
Jhop, I look forward to reading what you have to say and know that what you post is always very reliable, informative and often quite entertaining. It is obvious that you are one of the more intellectual people on here, and living so far away I find your posts invaluable. This place just would not be the same without you (and your family)! Thanks for coming back!! 

Notice the plane that we flew on?

Jhop. I enjoy all your posts. Don't let a few people get you down. Your positives FAR outweigh the negatives of this board.
Thanks for all you do.
