There's a lot of posturing and name calling going on in this group no doubt about that. The motivations involved one can only speculate on and as both of you guys noted how long it takes to do all of this.

I don't believe much in the rankings and ratings associated with people ( top posters ) in cdos since they could be easily manipulated. It is clear though that some of the people ( Jonathan, Tom, Joel ) are rated very highly while others are ranked right near the bottom.

Why the people at the bottom post so much ... no clue exactly.

My days coaching T-Ball have been over for a while. Two more years of coaching my youngest daughters bball team ( and track/cross country ) before she is off to high school. Still time on weekends to run with both girls.
