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.
