Whoa!

Snoopy's game reviews are excellent, and give loads of information that is unavailable anywhere else.  I watch all the games, yet I still read his reviews carefully because of the many things he catches that I miss.  I'm sure they are even more valuable to those who can't watch the games.

His reviews are well-written and well-edited, and clearly take a lot of energy and time to create.  I can't believe the list is once again lucky enough to have someone who is willing to do this for us.  Why would anyone want to jump on him for doing it, or for any of the other services (collecting and displaying win-loss predictions; maintaining a Celtics-related web site) he cheerfully provides?

As several others have already pointed out, if Snoopy (or anyone else) rubs you the wrong way, *filter* him.  That ends your problem.  And our problem, too: we don't have to worry that one of most valuable members of the list will get burned out and walk away.

Sincerely,
