Do we have an agreement with this guy?

Andrew from www.n3rdgazm.com has posted THIS THREAD, linking to his site. Did we talk to him about this?

The site has a forum, and one of the sub-forums covers College Football. I wouldn't call them a direct competitor, but I wanted to get some feedback on this.

No, we don't. However, he has sent us the following email (to which I have not replied yet):

Hello,
My name is Andrew Larsen. I recently created an account on huskerboards. I made a topic inviting huskerboards members to my site as we're Lincoln based and are too Husker fans. I have already interviewed Cameron Meredith and am awaiting his final editorial confirmation before I can post the article on my site. I just wanted to share it with other husker fans that may or may not already visit our site. I will also be interviewing other Husker players and would wish too that any and all Husker fans should have the opportunity to be in on it. I was informed that since we have forums as well with College Football as a sub forum that it could be kind of dicey as far as conflict of interests. It is definitely something we would like to keep on our site, being we are interviewing Huskers players. If there is some kind of comprimise we would need to come up with as to let this be ok, I would be more than willing to listen.

If you have any questions, comments or concerns I would be most interested in listening.

Sincerely,

Andrew Larsen

I'm inclined to let it go. As you noted, Lance, he doesn't seem to be a direct competitor with the Board; his forum is very generic, not Husker specific at all. However, I'd like to get ETR's take on it. Eric?

I'm thinking the other way. This joker will get a few months of hits and views and then install a Husker message board. If he wants he can post his articles, but to make a huge announcement like this without asking annoys me. I say take it down.
