I've been really enjoying that site this summer, and need to figure out a good way to reciprocate for all the great viewing pleasures I've had!!

Red Dog said:That's a good forum, but I've never had the chance to check it out. I lost my old video hosting forum, but it's unlikely that I will get it back up due to time constraints. Instead, I will continue to make videos (I can now make BQ (TV broadcast quality) versions due to a new video codec I discovered last year while working on the Marshall's spring pro-am) but if anyone wants them they'll have to contact me instead. What's even worse is that I lost my vid database on my old forum...
I'm considering the POSSIBILITY of posting videos on this forum if I'm allowed to. I certainly wouldn't mind making vids available to all the good people here who don't want to register at other forums just to get vids. (Once again, this is a POSSIBILITY- no promises here)...
Doggygirl said:Hey Red Dog, thanks for considering videos here if it's allowed. I can't even imagine how much time and disk space that involves. Let the games begin!!!

I think it's because he says a lot about everything as emma pointed out. It's not the usual 'taking one day at a time', etc.Longhornliz said:His posts are always so interesting to read... you can tell he writes them himself, whereas I get the feeling that sasha and others may have ghost writers. He does a really good job of promoting himself, even if he isnt being "handled" by pr people for his site. Its tone is much more intune with the citizen journalism/blogger movement.
I think it's not just that. What I like about Johnny's posts and interviews are a sense of humor, self-criticism, and sarcasm. Sarcasm is very much a part of everyday life for most people (certainly a big component of blogosphere), and the posts totally devoid of seem sterilized.Joesitz said:I think it's because he says a lot about everything as emma pointed out.

pollyls said:I agree, I love Johnny's posts. There are always tantalizing bits of info in them that we fans would be hard pressed to learn about on our own. I love how substantive and irreverent he is.
emma said:I missed this one before...he IS irreverent and that makes him so fun to read/hear....also, as Pitchka said, he is sarcastic and can self criticize/mock...I just love that about him (or his public presentation of him)...
pollyls said:Johnny actually answered my fan email after he won his first US Nationals. I know he's way too busy, probably, to do things like that now but I thought it was so thoughtful and classy.
