I am just interested to see if the number of posts on a particular topic
actually outnumber the volume sent to the entire list about how an
individual does not enjoy reading those posts.  At this point, it is a
close race...  Anyway, if the purpose of the list is to discuss things
pertaining to the Boston Celtics, then talking about their potential draft
picks is appropriate.  If you don't like it, that is really too bad.  I
don't like every message that comes over the list, but I can at least
understand that this list is not just designed for my own personal
enjoyment, and that others might like to discuss something else (as long as
it pertains to the Celtics).  For crying out loud, if you don't like a
particular line of discussion, don't follow it.  At least they have to do
with the team, unlike your discussion of what you like to read and why.

Anyone else care to share their hopes and dreams for this list?  For the
Celtics?  For our country?...

And speaking of draft picks, count me in as one who hopes Pitino and the
Celts (and their fans) give Billups half a chance.  What is the point of
looking so desperate to drop this guy?  No team is going to want to take
somebody that the coach has given up on so easily?  This seems very
irrational of RP.
