Rob, you are to be commended for the service you provide the local area.
BUT
Having paid advertisers does not disqualify a business from being a public service.
Here's how it's worked;
Tiffany didn't always have advertisers. When her blog developed a sizable following, other businesses and services saw an opportunity to reach potential customers and made a decision to sponsor her. If these businesses see her blog as becoming irrelevant, they will probably decide to pull their ads.
I, and hundreds of others, use BIC, as well as punaweb, and occasionally, the person with the cute kid, daily; to get different perspectives on local happenings.
I agree with obie that any poo poo about BIC is actually about personal problems with Tiffany. That's fine, but please don't try and color it differently.
Some people don't use Tiffany's site at all. They merely check it for useful election coverage, questionnaires, interesting discussions and entertainment like discussions on banning trolls.
By the way; Check out Alan McNarie's piece in the current Ke Ola Magazine about local architect Boone Morrison. It's sure to be irrelevant, boring, and uninteresting; and it probably won't discuss Tiffany's address issues.
