[OZZIE4DUKE]

Beautiful work, Jumbo! Just beautiful. It needs to be linked to or listed on Throaty's HPR (Handy Pocket Reference).

First suggestion for an addition is Gail Goestenkors.

The second is Steve Wojciechowski.

[throatybeard]

I suggested GG to him--he wasn't biting.

Spelling Wojo got taken care of though. He's Wojo!

[hurleyfor3]

No mention of Dwyane Wade?

Also, I refuse to call Greg Doily by any other name.

Good summary, Jumbo.

Hi,

I appreciate the list, but people do make honest mistakes and shouldn't be crucified for them. I think there are degrees of inappropriateness. A current player's name being misspelled and that of a player from a bygone era for example. Hard to remember back in the old archive sometimes. I am sensitive to this because I get my "real" name misspelled a lot and so I take it with a grain of salt.

Cool "Thanks again for the post" Swym (sic).

GO DUKE!

Yeah, the whole thing was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek, sort of like Throaty's pocket guide. No one should be crucified -- just lightly ribbed.

Marti Precocious

Love it! I think I'm calling him that from now on...

[imagepro]

Hope you got a chuckle out of that anyway. Did you notice my "reason for editing" ?
