Dear Big Show Andy,
Will your sole participation in this forum be to advertise upcoming WEEI shows and events? If so, can you explain why this isn't an improper commercial use of the forum?
Just curious.
patchick - you are my favorite poster on this board but . . . I think keeping us up to date of when Bill, et al, are coming up is wholly appropriate. It's not like he's advertising weight loss or "male enhancement" products.Dear Big Show Andy,

Yeah, I'm probably a little over-sensitive to this. FWIW it comes from running my own website and seeing the ever-increasing flood of companies approaching me and every other site owner, blogger, etc. to try to use our sites for free placements and promotion. Meanwhile nobody's willing to actually PAY for advertising anymore (just ask Ian). Plus a flood of PR hacks here promoting every upcoming media appearance would be a nuisance.
That said, if everybody else appreciates the WEEI updates I'll quash my little hangups.

If it's for a Patriot, I'm OK with it.
I'm all for updates of any of the sports shows when they are going to have interviews with members of the Patriots.
OK, quashing hangups in 10, 9, 8...
BTW, if I were an outlet like WEEI I'd make a little feed widget to place on sites like this in lieu of traditional ads. It would always show alerts/schedules of upcoming Patriots programming (or Celtics, Bruins, etc.) in a prominent place on the page. Super-easy to implement, show yourself as a sponsor of a popular site, deliver a constant reminder to tune in to the station, and help counter the impression that WEEI is baseball 24/7.
On the release of O'Connell "I'd say in a sense it was a combination of things."
There you have it. Definitive explanation. lol
