Jesus H. Friggin'; Christ, already!  Are you going to take every mention 
of Paul Pierce as an invitation to rant about him?  I'd say it'll get old 
soon, but frankly, it was old yesterday.  We *get* it already.  Stop 
beating it to death.

Geez.  I've never seen a newbie come in here and post so damn much in the 
five or so years I've been on the list.  You have *way* too much time on 
your hands.  Perhaps cultivating less posts but spending more time on them 
would be a good start.  On the other hand, there are reasons why people 
lurk for some time before participating... .
