Congratulations, and thanks for your blog. I think you are very definitely making a difference by covering issues and offering perspectives not found anywhere else in this town. Keep up the good work!

Thank you very much for what you've done, and what you continue to do. So where do we contribute money so we can all buy you and your family dinner?

Thank you for filling the investigative void left by the old media in Portland.

Ironic that I am listening to
an OPB story covering this blog and the ICE facility - at this very moment!

Excellent work, Jack!
I am very! glad you are here for all of us.

Thanks Jack, for covering what others don't have the courage to educate the community, and beyond.

I know that doing something you love does not feel like work, but let me tell you something, you are doing the work that few others seem willing to do. Thank you Mr. Bogdanski, for all you have done these past nine years!

Thanks jack, you do a great service

Thank you for trying to bring order to our chaotic world. I am also grateful for your family's tolerance of this most productive hobby. If the O was paying any attention to their own irrelevance, they would offer you a part time job from the comfort of your attic.

Congratulations, Jack!! I've learned a lot from your blog. Thank you for the continued education. Here's to 9 more!

Thanks for engaging us. You share space on my list of great teachers (Sister Mary Loyola Mary, Lloyd Reynolds and Henry Sjobolm.) I would also like to thank the people that post thoughtful debate.

Your openness to all thoughts and viewpoints and your insistence on looking under the covers is why this site rocks.
It is making a difference in public discourse on events in the Rose City.
Nine more years and we might just whack down the slimy underbelly of our local "development" Mafia.

Jack, thanks for everything. Your blog certainly has influence but that's not what I like about it. I view it as a therapy group where we can all go to try and maintain our sanity.
Posted by Bill McDonald | July 6, 2011 11:39 AM
Thanks Jack for all the effort you put into it. A refreshing honest voice gives me some hope in these trying times.

Where's the 'like' button?
Posted by canucken | July 6, 2011 2:17 PM
Yes, thank you!
Today is my next door neighbor's birthday and my cousin's birthday. I knew in the back of my mind there was another reason to celebrate today.

Thanks Jack! It is always a pleasure to play in your Sand Box!

You're waaaay above number 9 for informativeness compared to the other paid media outlets.
You really need to do a Huffington Post, it'd sell better than that fiction did.
Posted by Steve | July 6, 2011 4:36 PM
Thank you Jack.
Thank you for keeping us updated week after week.
Thank you for providing this forum for us to share information.
For me personally, it has been a relief to know there are others in our city who feel as I do regarding matters and are willing to share their thoughts.
