I have a solution: the next time you guys have a disagreement, how about you guys just PM each other? Its a win-win: you would likely resolve your issues or at least agree to disagree, and the rest of us wouldn't have to be involved. So how about it?

I sent Frank a PM yesterday suggesting he block my posts because he finds the "Don't miss the boat, be sure to quote" so offensive. His response on the board was that I not e-mail or send him any more messages.

As I said to Frank in the PM, if I thought even for a minute that "Don't miss the boat, be sure to quote" truly was offensive, I never would have added it as a signature line. My guess is Frank doesn't like it because he has previously criticized the "quote" function on the board and urged people not to use it, and this signature line rebuts his thinking. I'd love to know if he really finds it "offensive," or if he thinks using such a hot-button word will win him favor.

Frank and I have had flare-ups in the past. There's no denying that. The fact he's referencing them now as part of his being offended by "Don't miss the boat, be sure to quote" is puzzling.

When I PM'd Frank yesterday, I explained it was for the sole reason of not derailing another thread. If anyone would like a copy of that PM, I'll be happy to forward it.

Sorry another thread got sidetracked.

Rob- since you do rotate your messages and have had dozens of different ones over the last few years, is it possibly time for a new one? How about: "it's a small mint...it's a junior mint." That of course is just a suggestion, there are many other worthwhile ones.

Or maybe something from Bartlett's Familiar Quotations.

You mean something like "a stitch in time saves nine."

I vote for a Yogi-ism!
"if you get hurt and miss work, it won't hurt to miss work"

BTW, all I can do is root for UCONN in the NIT. sad

Okay, so Frank, why don't you just PM him back if you have anything to say, and the rest of us will all be better off. We could actually talk about cards or whatever the thread was about!

that sound you may have just heard was my bracket imploding !!

[tbob]

Vandy has been a choke team in big games all year, I kick myself for thinking they'd change.
Nova played today like they have the last 3 weeks- uninspired and miserably. They were lucky they squeaked one out and preserved some brackets.

[carrigansghost]

Or the sound of many taking wagers on the kids in the playground having yet another slap fight. Let's start a new bitch thread for those that would like to continue with comparing the size of each one's little treasure. My bracket was done purely on name status only.

BYU finally snapped its 7 consecutive first round loss streak! It took double-OT to do it!

[GrayGhost]

I took Florida, and lost at least one other game that I know of (notre Dame) I will need a good performance in the late games today to stay somewhat on track.
