Much agreed on the whole thing.

'Toine will get his respect from the coaches of the league. I've voted
for Toine about 100 times (lets hope the votes haven't been counted
yet!!) you guys should sit there if you've got a spare 10 minutes and
open 4 browsers and continously vote for him. A lot of people do that
for MJ, etc. and help him out getting votes, we should get Toine up!
