The Tribune wants to find out who was posting on their old forum. I bet they can match people's IP Address to their real name as they sign up, and then look back to see what posts they had made while they were anonymous.. Just a Theory!
Example: ERNIE GANN = jim hanson
Can anyone confirm or deny my theory??

Chad-"Tool" was a good choice of words.
Chad-"How long did it take you to get on the Chamber's board? What's noble about that? Whether you like it or not most people I talk to think that the Tribune is nothing more than a mouthpiece for the Chamber these days, and you being on the Chamber board just reinforces that."
Chad,
Calling me a tool, really? Are we now twelve years old. Sad. As for the Chamber, you may want to broaden your circle of friends to more than Maddog as the Tribune is not a mouthpiece for the chamber. As far as me being on the board, I choose to be on the board to try and take part in our community so that I can see first hand how things go on. I am a believer in change and when you have a community newspaper, you need to be a part of the community. As far as my role on the board, please ask anyone who is on the board that I more than speak my opinions on what is taking place as all the board memebers do. I do not always agree at board meetings, but that is how it is suppose to work. A group of community minded people that use discussion to drive change.I would love to bring you to a meeting to see.
Chad-"but then you turn around and have the Tribune insult this site, and the posters here, every chance they get."
Again, I do not see any proof.
Chad-"The bunch of ass kissers you have posting there now may be good for your ego, but it's not good for the rest of the community."
Why would you just call people that? Oh, I know, That is what you do to people that disagree with you! I forgot.
As far as my ego, again if you knew me you would know that is the last thing on my mind. Why can't people just agree to disagree. As far as what is good for the community, my ego is not big enough to tell you what is good for it or not but I will keep working hard on different boards and through volunteering to try and guage the pulse of our community. Again I invite you to come with me to volunteer or to an event that may help someone else.
Thanks again for your time.
Scott Schmeltzer
P.S.-Maddog-calling me a pissant. again really? Please broaden your word knowledge. I suggest Reader's Digest "word power".

Hey Scott. Did you know the the ALMC has made ZERO MISTAKES!
Were you aware of that? Well, of course you are seeing as how you had an operation there. Nice unbiased reporting Scott...not. With that kind of reporting you are not useful to the community. That kind of reporting hurts the community.

Then I would have expected an editorial about the Kerr hiring, unless you agree with the cronyism. Maybe even give your first thumbs down to an animate object.

I'm pretty sure you weren't complimenting me when you said I had strayed from being noble because I didn't put your headlines on my site. Also the people that are left commenting didn't disagree with me, so I couldn't hardly call them a name for disagreeing with me, could I?.

I've got a pretty big circle of friends, but if you don't believe me about what people say, ask around. (I'd suggest that you don't ask the people that are left commenting on the Tribune site though.)

I actually I didn't call you a tool, I just remarked that you had made a good choice by using that word in your article. Apparently I struck a nerve with that "compliment".
Personally, I'd rather see a person use the word pissant then to use the sophomoric expressions "really?", and "Sad."

How are your counts under the new and super improved format at the ALTrib? It has been really busy over here with anonymous readers apparently checking in to catch the latest news not available at the ALTrib.
