Posted November 12, 200618 yr I just wanted to take a quick thread to thank Grasscat for the incredible job he did for all of us in bringing us articles from all over the place during this election cycle. There's no way I'd have read Columbus Dispatch articles about the Auditor's race, or the Toledo Blade on the Senate race, or the Stryker Sentinel on Secretary of State (OK, I just made that one up), etc., etc. - he gathered and coallated and formatted and linked and kept us all up to date with a vast variety of sources...I've never been as well-informed during an election as I was this year, and it's wholly thanks to Grasscat. Kudo's, thanks, glory, laud and honor! You frickin' ROCK!
November 12, 200618 yr yea thanks...man! :fight: Dude. Grasscat's great and all. But the makeout smilies? Yuck.
November 12, 200618 yr uh I thought the guy just didn't have a life. But, thanks Mr Cat Living in Cinti you kinda forget that some newspapers actually report stuff.
November 12, 200618 yr Thanks guys! For the record, I do have a life. Not a glamorous one, but one outside of Urban Ohio. Quimbob, that last line was absolutely hilarious.
November 13, 200618 yr Without grasscat, there is no UrbanOhio. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
November 13, 200618 yr agreed...he is the major content provider, and not just in politics, but developement and planning news (Noozer does a good job on that, too...). This is what makes UO an excellent source for whats happenng in the state. I post at a few other specifically political boards, and that Ohio politics subforum and the content there was a big source for me in helping give the local spin on things. Thanks, Grasscat! Noozer, too!
November 13, 200618 yr No doubt, Noozer, and The Cincinnati Kid and Uncle Rando all do a lot to bring us articles and news from all over - thanks to all of them as well! But sorry, no kissy-face emoticons for you'ins...
November 13, 200618 yr Funny you did this, I actually thought about a grasscat appreciation thread a couple weeks ago when someone accused grasscat of only posting articles that leaned one way...when he posts from all Ohio new sources, including those with only 4000 circulation. I echo all above comments, grasscat's efforts are amazing!!!! Thank you!!!
November 14, 200618 yr Who's dissing on Stryker? Hey, I'm the guy who made the Stryker avatar (though I haven't seen anyone using it)...
November 14, 200618 yr With almost 19,000 posts, to diss Grasscat is to diss UrbanOhio. And I'll bet that by the time most forumers get around to reading this, he will have left the 19,000 mark in the dust.

November 14, 200618 yr Hey grasscat, I was in burnet woods for the outdoor musuem and there was a similar looking picture to the one you use under your name, any connection?
November 15, 200618 yr No doubt, Noozer, and The Cincinnati Kid and Uncle Rando all do a lot to bring us articles and news from all over - thanks to all of them as well! But sorry, no kissy-face emoticons for you'ins... Thx for noticing...I try to bring as much to this forum as I can!!! Not just the hum drum "i agree....cool pics...etc" But every once in a while that is called for. I do look to post articles and many times I find them and then look on UO and grasscat or TCK have already beat me to the punch...lol Its good though because out of the main article posters, we are always bound to miss a few, and the others pick up where they left off! Keep on, keepin on!!!
