Ooops

[Fairy Queen]

After just posting that question about baseball, thinking I had 
already checked that people wern't already discussing what I just 
asked, I noticed that Richelle has said

> As for offending baseball fans, I'll take the risk of offending
>football fans, I find it boring because everytime anything gets going
>everybody falls down, whistle blows, they all stop and line up again.
 >Baseball may last a lot longer, but at least nobody blows a whistle
>when someone drops the ball, you can just keep running after it. :)

So she'd sort of already covered what I just asked, d'oh! It's 
reasons like this why I don't post often. I don't think I've ever 
sent a post without being embarassed by some aspect or another of it 
straight afterwards.

And I just noticed Iggy said:

So far as my personal perspective on baseball, my boredom and lack of
interest for the sport may very well stem from two things:  The bad
experiences I had in playing the sport itself, and the fact that you 
hear a
lot more often about whiney baseball players wanting huge salaries to 
pretty
much sit on their butts and be worshiped.  (That, and I think it's 
absurd to
charge fans $25 dollars for an autograph when it's the fans who are 
the
reason you have your job in the first place.  That's one of the 
things I
liked about Pro Wrestling when I was a kid.  The wrestlers would give 
you
their autograph for free because they knew that you were why they were
there... not the other way around.  And yes, I know that pro 
wrestling is
"sports entertainment"... but those guys are just as much hard-core 
athletes
as any "real" sports player...)


So really there was no need for my new thread at all -  i should have 
looked harder.

Double d'oh!
