Seems there are some new posters to the board. I noticed during the whole "Favorite Player" polling that some people said they registered just so they could vote.
I'm not sure, but did the whole event create a new wave of posters and visitors to the board? Sort of a "Poster Boom" if you will? If so, that's pretty cool. Can this be verified? Jason Evans - Marketing Genius!

I just looked up curmudgeon. That means I can now make up a new word to celebrate my continuing journey into "curmudgeondom".
While the poll was very fun, it also coincided with the beginning of the season. I think that the latter factor may be of more consequence.
It's go time!
Mandlebaum! Mandlebaum! Mandlebaum!
CameronBlue says he imagines my curmudgeonly ways extending to holding a rifle and smoking a corn cob pipe.
I assure you that's totally inaccurate. It's a rifle and a liter of Doppelbock.
A movie is not about what it's about; it's about how it's about it.

Nope. Meant "better than me" - a direct quote from a Seinfeld episode (see above)!

P.S. I am more aggravated by people that think they are being proper by ALWAYS saying, "I" even when it's wrong (e.g., "Susan bought the rubber thingy with batteries for you and I.")
Shane Battier registered and posted-- if that is its only legacy I will be quite happy.
FWIW, I agree that the start of the season probably has a lot more to do with the posting explosion. Wait until we hit March-- you will have to refresh the EK page every hour to keep threads from dropping off the first page!!

I just heard on the radio today that Jason's concept is spreading. The radio station is doing "A Favorite Redskin player" contest on their web page. Clearly a copy; I hope Jason gets royalties

Though I had been lurking for a while, I did register just to try and save Grant from what I thought was an early exit.
