     What do you consider valid conversation?

     I agree it is water under the bridge.  However, if it interests 
people, and obviously it does, then why do you care?  The list belongs 
to many people with many interests.  If people are posting to a subject 
then they are interested in the subject and that is great.

     I know you did and I appreciate that.  I will always get beaten up 
because I don't just swallow Big Red is God.  But, thank
 you for standing in my corner on occasion.

      I understand that.  But, could it be some of these posters were 
ultra sensitive?  When you get on a sports list, and I am on many, one 
thing you need is very thick skin.  The reason is someone is going to 
question you down the line and maybe harshly.  I know because I have 
been there.  I am on the Kansas City Royals list among others and I get 
burned there all the time.

     There is no one that wants you to leave the list.  But, do 
understand what a sports list is especially one that people feel as 
passionately as do people here about the Huskers,
