Legacy of the "Favorite Player" Polling

[EarlJam]

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!

To some, it's apparently more like "Jason Evans - Board Ruiner"**.

**I do not count myself among those curmudgeons...Also, I just got to use the word "curmudgeon."

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.

So you're calling me a liar? You think you're better than me?

It's go time!

Mandlebaum! Mandlebaum! Mandlebaum!

I'm so glad you got that. I was hoping it wasn't necessary for me to put "just kidding" underneath my message.

-EarlJam, Oh, my back!!!!

I'm glad to see I won't be alone when I get there. It won't be long either!:eek:

There's nothing to worry about! Curmudgeondom is to be celebrated and embraced, not feared. My parents have been telling me I'm an old man since I was about four, and I am PROUD.

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.

I'm sure you meant "better than I". Jeez can't we have some standards around here? (Pained, heavy sigh)

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

-EarlJam

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 ;)

Shane is how I found DBR in the first place. He mentioned the site in an interview and I had to come find you guys. I've gotten less work done ever since.

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.
