Nort, It's RD SUX! 
Steve1: You seem to be a very knowledgeable guy and have some good experience / credentials (according to you) but you are coming off like a tool!
I am very happy the RDP is covering DS as I won't be there. I have a similar event in the hot rod industry that I have to attend. I'll have my laptop and monitor the action on the side while promoting my business.
I'm sure there will be others that can't attend as well that will appreciate the coverage.
There is so much going on during the event that even participants will get to see stuff they normally wouldn't.
This seems like a win win for everyone. No need to muck it up with BS agendas.

River Dave Live Web Cast Times - River Dave or Matt?
Steve1, I will try to explain my position on this.. There is I suppose some fine line between Sharing Content with other websites and self promotion.
In this particular instance, the members of OSO would never be able to see this content. OSO is an East Coast Based site, my site is a West Coast based site.. This is an offshore site, my site is a River/Lake site.
While there is certainly some cross over, the main "intent" of each site is in fact different. When the big events happen in the mid west, and the East Coast and I want to see them, OSO is the spot I would go to to see that content.
When an Event such as Desert Storm happens quite literally in my back yard (I'm looking at the lake as I type this), and I can cover it, I would assume the people that can't make the event from OSO would like to see it.
RDP is no real threat to OSO, no more then OSO is a threat to RDP. There is no self promotion here. It's just sharing content with individuals on the other side of the country that would want to see it in order to promote Desert Storm, and boating in general. In a short sited view i think one could come to your conclusion. In a bigger picture sort of view though, one might even come to the conclusion that this is a positive for OSO, it's members, and Desert Storm.
If the OSO team views it in your fashion, I'm quite sure I would've recieved a PM, a phone call, an e-mail, a smoke signal? Something.. But the fact is, last year a lot of OSO members enjoyed it, they talked about it here, and guess what.. OSO is still here, and the same as it ever was, and RDP is still here and the same as it ever was..
