To anyone who I have offended on this List I would like to apologize. While I had read the post stating that their may be an influx of New Hockey-L'ers I was still Irate at the post. This does however bring up an interesting point. I DO NOT agree with the current format of this list, however, I have not right, and no ability to change it's format. AT THE SAME TIME, I have been told that under no circumstances shall I belittle a team again or I shall LOOSE my posting privlages to this list. WHy? Because I was highly critical of MAINE, yes MY SCHOOL'S TEAM. Not for bashing BU, or anyone else. Now at the time that this occurred I had a long E-mail discussion about the list and its rules with Wayne. I urged him to put together some sort of a FAQ, one which would spell out the rules. This FAQ could be sent to all new subscribers, and reposted monthly. Why is this needed? LOOK AROUND!!!! With new subscribers and heated topics flaming is sure to occur. Many of you mailed me personally and told me that I (I) was out of line (it was "innappropriate) for me to respond personally., why? This individual had belittled my school and cast (another) bad light on it. Now if I mail privately, the whole list will not necessarily see the other view, is that fair? If people out west don't get all the up to date news on Miane (or don't follow it as closely) but read this, what kind of impression does that give. If we don't respond publicly will that prevent similar situations from occuring? I urge you all to E-mail Wayne ([log in to unmask]) and urge him to institute some sort of a FAQ, which will inform newcomers of their rights... I appologize for the lack of hockey content...
