Re: Painful

[Vinny Natale <vnatale@map.com>]

I'm a lurker on this list.  I've been on for about a year and one-half.  Up
until several months ago, I deleted most posts unread.  For the last
several months I've been reading just about every word of every post.  Why?
 Because most posts have been about today's Celtics and today's games.  I
am one person who is not interested in reading about endless speculation
about next year's draft!  I'm most interested in reading about who is
currently a Celtic and what happened in last night's game!
