Bill Bird, its somehow worse hearing you are leaving that 
list than my own decision to unsubscribe. I never brought 
much humor to the list at least, like you and others did.

I've actually continued right on posting to JB's Yahoo! 
list, but will also have to quit that imminently. Its not 
personal, but just diminishing returns now that I'm able 
to watch all games myself, and got my wife interested 
(miraculously) in the Celtics. 

It was one of those secrets I kept for years after we got 
married, although she's met one or two IGTC posters when 
they were in town in France etc. Now she's the biggest  
Celtics fan I know. Its a miracle.

Anyway, keep up the good fight everyone. I can't wait to 
go to Paul M's Website and click on all posts I find, 
written by people I "know", on the night the Celtics win 
their 17th banner. 

I still enjoy reading the IGTC posts (Jim Mennino told me 
pretty much the same thing, long after he unsubscribed). 
Its just that its probably too much of a time-killer 
right now to actually post, in addition to reading. Drop 
me a line, if you are ever in New York City.

p.s. If Bill Cooper and the old gang rejoin, let met know 
and I'll be right back!
