I had stopped writing in it for sometime.<BR/><BR/>I started getting your posts via RSS and it made me want to write again. I remembered meeting Wayne Fontes once and he signed this photo for me.<BR/><BR/>I don't know why Kevin's site wasn't in there as I enjoyed his interactive banner.<BR/><BR/>I thought your link was in there, but in reality it was the Wayne Fontes Fan Club. You are on there and bold now. <BR/><BR/>I'm a UofM alumni, an avid listener of 1270 am, and love everything Michigan. And again, I apologize and thank you for your work.Jeffrey Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12344375994853353633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20500414.post-1142736804778972212006-03-18T21:53:00.000-05:002006-03-18T21:53:00.000-05:00JG, I appreicate your coming forward.

I've worked hard on the site and I felt I needed to defend my turf. I'm fine with your explanation. <BR/><BR/>I'm no writer either, I just pretend to be one... I'm just a fan that wanted to have his voice heard. I see you have the same need. Consider the hatchet buried. <BR/><BR/>I'll be more than happy to add you to my list of local bloggers. The more the better. Just make sure you add Ian and Kevin to your links, as their feelings were hurt... <BR/><BR/>Look forward to reading your posts.<BR/><BR/>Big AlBig Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08745424963722654158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20500414.post-1142736180889860622006-03-18T21:43:00.000-05:002006-03-18T21:43:00.000-05:00Dear Al:Read your post about the site Third and Fi...Dear Al:<BR/><BR/>Read your post about the site Third and Five... I would just like to say that I am a reader of your blog (rss feed in feeddemon) and enjoy it.<BR/><BR/>The blog in question was a work in-progress. I never thought it was being viewed by anyone really. <BR/><BR/>The formatting/intro was going to change, I had just been slow with coming up with original content. As far as your links, I liked most of them and had been changing and adding links as I read more and more into each site.<BR/><BR/>The blog was/is for personal use. I don't sell anything or promote anything. I just made it so that I could write sometimes when I feel I need to. I have also been trying to recruit a few of my friends to write stuff on non-sport related. I thought that would be neat. <BR/><BR/>I don't proclaim to be a writer. I am a sports fanatic and I live in the metro detroit area. So, I sincerely apologize if I upset you by using your words.<BR/><BR/>Hope we can make things right going forward.Jeffrey Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12344375994853353633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20500414.post-1142720099813390002006-03-18T17:14:00.000-05:002006-03-18T17:14:00.000-05:00Ian, I find it hard to believe he left Kevin and y...Ian, <BR/><BR/>I find it hard to believe he left Kevin and yourself off of his links. What's up with that? There has to be an underlying reason. I'm guessing it's like a kid who copies a term paper and changes a couple of words. and then thinks, "That'll fool 'em!"Big Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08745424963722654158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20500414.post-1142719199233070212006-03-18T16:59:00.000-05:002006-03-18T16:59:00.000-05:00Hey, no link ziti for me either!
