I email Rich Lord saying that Les Ludwig started talking about "alternative funding" back in 2003. I felt that the news of Luke's deal with the California firm should have quoted Ludwig. Heck, he ran for Mayor on that as a central platform plank. Furthermore, the words, "Do More With Les" were spoken by young Mayor Luke Ravenstahl at his first budget address in recent months.

Is that 1999ish as in Grant Street 1999?
No.
I'm hinting at the year. A long time ago, before blogging made it more popular, there were web pages without interaction.
The PG blog pointed to, as the PG Chats hosted every month or so, are over controlled and without interaction.
Newspapers are going out of business and face a big crisis. New media elements at the PG are painfully slow to develop and spring up in this marketplace.
I agree with your analysis of the PG so-called blog and the state of the print media. I was only cracking a joke.
