Please don't mistake my rather fucked up Brit speak for pompous.
I drop around your ways (a sort of vicarious/cyber US-OR trip this means) quite often - I found out about you guys, your town and this pretty amazing (for me) newspaper via an old Gonzo: former Portland resident, sweet bike riding dope-fiendish geezer
And so I got kind of hooked I guess.

You have no idea just how much of a pleasure it is for me to read the stuff going on here; some of the articles, comments/letters, movie reviews & whatever ..crack me up big time. Yes, they make me laugh - but in a really good way.
You folks often cheer me when I'm feeling pissed off or just plain pissed. (Brit sense)

Thanks to everyone here - I'm aware of just how much work goes into producing a free rag - I used to work for one, so I do know.
PS. I live in Denmark - downtown Copenhagen (but come from Scotland UK)
Yes, just another bike-land queerfool who never wears a a crash-hat ...unless I'm in that other US news site I often visit - Salon dot com, or for some bizarre reason The Miami Herald (not so strange really, if you ever read some Carl Hiaasen words)

Hugs & thanks
Tim
