Do We Really Need 27 New Marion Threads?

Postby gh » Wed Sep 06, 2006 7:45 pm

Friendly suggestion: instead of trying to shout louder than everybody else, please think about contributing to an ongoing thread instead of starting your own.

Didn't seem to bother you when the feeding frenzy was going on after the "A" sample positive.

Or the "Game of Shadows" book that came out against Bonds.

Is that your best shot?

If I cared I wouldn't have registered under my own name. Fine detective work.

GH if you are referring to me, i apologize...I just couldn't help my excitement over the news and wanted to at least for once be the originator of a thread. But I do understand what you are stating.

We've got 2 current Marion threads. Any more pop up and I'll likely clip them. I didn't unlock the board (in fact I relocked it a couple weeks ago) but will leave it unlocked for a couple days.

Two threads for the biggest news that has rocked our sport in the past 19 years?

It is 'worth' more than that.

There are likely 50 other Marion threads already in existence that fit the need.

No matter how big the news, one thread (with likely a few hundred posts) can cover it.

Uh, no. That was the initial BALCO story. Jones is just a part of that(though a big part).

Now, if credible news broke on You Know-Who.....

The Balco story was a gradual thing that broke out bit-by-bit. This news is far more impactful.

Track and Field-News.

Which as we all know should be Field and Track-News.

But then, nobility is nobility.
