Not important, I'm just curious. You are wrong about me being a previous poster. But, like I said, it is very interesting how people have arranged fact to make sense of things.

I'm just wondering which posts, because I wouldn't even know where to look.

No, its not. A&O has posted about almost nothing else.

I think in preseason you can throw away the wins and losses. But HOW the team plays is important. This team got manhandled. It did not play well. It was the kind of bad that will carry over into, at least, the first half of the season.

I don't care. People are either polite or they are not. A&O wasn't polite, so he got the response he did. I don't respond that way to everyone - just the impolite ones.

I think I'm dead on target.

That is my point - I'm not doing anything special.

I'm not MikeO and I don't know who MikeO is. I've stated this several times. A&O has a choice, he can believe me or not. If he chooses not to believe me and then use that as justification for following me around and flaming me and then being upset and leaving - well that seems a lot more trouble than just taking my word at face value.

The easiest thing to do would be for A&O to accept that I'm not MikeO, and just ignore me or even accept that I think about things differently. He is choosing a path that is more work and, frankly, completely wrong. I think he's doing that for a reason.
