This will be my last post regarding the NASCAR thread: I mentioned the
southern fans only because the "original" post's to the list, and to me
directly, came from list members who are from the south.
I realize NASCAR has many fans from the North. NASCAR is a fine sport.
Although I've received a number of personal replies from NASCAR fans giving
me a friendly hard time, I have received many more replies from list members
who knew exactly what I was talking about in the first place. I appreciate
the support, and reassurance from my friends on hockey-l.
Mostly, I'm glad that people are contacting CNN! That's great. I hope that
we get somewhere with them. Here is another feedback address:
