This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I never knew that we joined for the same reason. by Cavanaugh82

I was searching the internet trying to find out why Madison wasn't playing her freshman year and I came across a post on the Bench about her troubles with her knees and then kept coming back. The two year hiatus I took a while back was worthwhile, I'm sure you will miss some parts, you don't find many people willing and able to talk wcbb in real life, but overall enjoy it.

I always looked forward to your posts, especially the poems, you have a unique perspective. The board is getting a little bit tedious these days.

Enjoy yourself and I'll be disappointed if you end up taking up pickleball.
