from the American Progress Action Fund: looks like DU competition:

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Introducing ThinkProgress.org

You've seen the rumors. You've heard the hype. Tonight it all finally becomes a reality with the debut of ThinkProgress.org, the newest blog on the block, brought to you by the people who bring you The Progress Report. While The Progress Report will still come to you once a day with an in-depth take on the day's news, ThinkProgress.org will update all day long with original and continual research from the writers of The Progress Report. There will also be insights from fresh new voices on the staff of American Progress, as well as a diverse array of guest posts from progressive religious activists, policy experts, and correspondents from middle America. And with our Think Fast feature, we'll give you a frequently updated list of the hottest news of the day. Another great aspect of the blog is reader comments. We want to hear from you. Talk to us about the posts – tell us we're wrong, agree with us, add a new piece of information you've uncovered. Discuss and debate something you've read in The Progress Report....."

3. Easy guy!

If it was someone pushing an opposing view would be one thing. Lets not forget why we are here and every opportunity to push up the volume, lets crank it way up and welcome all others!

4. I don't mind people hawking similar sites at all

But if you have ever tried posting something in LBN you know that there is a whole page of rules to read before you post. This person either didn't read those rules or just blew them off.

There are ways to promote your site without showing absolutely no respect for this one. My response was a little out of character for me but it really rubbed me the wrong way to see this posting repeated in several forums.

And btw.... Welcome to DU Blueheeler! :toast:
