It's a new season and I've been relatively quiet, but ... 1. If you don't like a HOCKEY-L article or thread, contact the administrator (me) or send private mail to the poster ... NOT HOCKEY-L. Discussions about what is and is not OK for HOCKEY-L are not welcome on HOCKEY-L ... take them offline, please. btw, the [log in to unmask] discussion list *about* HOCKEY-L will be disbanded shortly. A number of great ideas for the betterment of HOCKEY-L were discussed there this past summer. One of the significant results of those discussions is the development of a HOCKEY-L FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) document. This effort is lead by Paulette Dwen ([log in to unmask]). Contact Paulette if you have ideas or information for the FAQ. 2. If you have a personal comment to make, make it privately; do not post it to HOCKEY-L. My apologies to the PA announcers on the list for the following analogy :-) ... Making a private comment on HOCKEY-L is like your local PA announcer leaving the microphone on and then chatting with someone else in the booth. Most of the arena fans will pay attention, but none will think better of you for it; many will get annoyed before long. 3. If you can't stand the other guy, even before you meet them, perhaps because of the school they root for, find another forum for your ideas. HOCKEY-L doesn't exist for you to brag about your school or put down other schools, but for the betterment of college hockey. You come from a great program, but so do the others.
