Finally, you re-dissed the enterprise as a parting shot, as though you'd gone out a winner. And now you're still working the, "I am the great and powerful Oz" angle, with a side order of, "Don't you know who I am?" As if. The landscape has indeed changed, and this board has no more dominant a community-gathering power now than cable, which is a far & fractured cry from 9 seasons ago. But frontrunning futility and selling it a prescience while pointing to your resume is nothing that issues forth from a mountaintop. It's a dodge, an abdication, and a sad farce rolled into one. Better put, it's everything you are claiming it is not. But all of this is a mistimed and unwarranted side show. It's still November, possibly the best November every, surely a contender. But it is all one game at a time. This is a time to build together toward common interest & aspiration as a set of teams... coaches, players, and fans. Principles before personalities. What say you, friend? [/QUOTE]
