Only a true Northwesterner would understand why a Portlander getting his city disrespected by an ex-Californian while attending a conference in Seattle might be rankled a bit. However, we bring this to attention out of respect for Danny since we know he must have had a brain hiccup at that very moment and would never make that mistake again:.)

I have tons of love for Danny, but he's going to attend a future SearchFest whether he wants to or not. We're putting together such a good conference, that he'll want to be a part of it or feel the wrath from his faithful followers.
and since it's in March, maybe it will rain again like last year, and Danny can feel right at home!
So Todd, here's the deal. I totally don't remember saying this about Portland. I just makes no sense. I'm from the West Coast. Of course I know Portland! :)
For the apparent misquote and hype-y way Danny's name is used, I'd rather 'bury' this, but...
The article presents an interesting case study of how industry organizations can be effective and breed cooperation between competitors. So for that reason it deserves a sphinn!
I didn't personally hear the exchange between Danny and Kent...but whatever actually happened, the exchange did inspire Kent and Scott Orth to start our organization...showing that the end result was very positive for our community and our members.
Oh, if I was misunderstood and it helped lead to the new group, that's fine by me -- don't get me wrong. I just need to clear my name. How could I not know Portland? It's Portland!
