I'm glad this discussion is surfacing. I, too, have noticed that in the list isn't as lively as it was last year. As someone with a professional reputation to protect, I can't dive in with the kinds of opinions I'd like to (if you want to see that side of me in action, I'll send you a "Word of the Herd," the official newsletter of the Central Ohio Bills Backers--got to plug where I can). But I miss the people who did! I miss responding to postings about the Buckeyes being a crap team, and I miss those who responded to my defense of the Buckeyes! I miss the inter-play between readers, and the sometimes intricate threads that resulted. I miss the humor, and the bias, and the b.s., and everything that I loved about Hockey-L when I subscribed last year. By the way, there is a "fanzine" site for Bowling Green fans, [log in to unmask] It's filled with interesting "insight" about BGSU hockey (you should have heard the crying after this weekend!), and it sometimes gives really useful information about BG and the CCHA in general. Hang in there, Hockey-L people. And it wouldn't hurt you to write, you know :) Paula Paula C.
