Icey,
I respect all of the information about Chuck Booms that you have personally let out to the army. I agree with you on almost everything, but dude, you got to get off your horse (referring to this last message).
Since you mentioned that you run this board, I have a suggestion. Could you please put a white or light colored background on this message board? This is harder to read that ESPN the Magazine.
Spiritjewel, who is obviously an idiot, left an opinion on two out of work sports talk show hosts and you start accusing him/her of libel (with capital letters). All I have to say is don't turn into a lycos Rob or Jonnie Cochring.
The other question I have is who do you work for and what is your show about? Is in on the internet because I would like to check it out.
I am with you on Chuck Booms 100%, just lighten up on the posters. Later
Mike in DC
ps. try not to use the work "daresay" in any more posts.
pps. pick your hammer back up, you may need it someday
