Re: The Celtics Report HOOPSWORLD.com NBA News and Information

If you are offended that I didn't pay for this e-mail address and instead choose to use a free service, then you have such a fragile psyche that I'm nervous to dispute any of these points with you, but i'll bravely forge ahead anyways. And for what it's worth, I use many e-mail providers, most of which I pay for. I just chose to set up a hotmail account that I use only for this list and nothing else.

"I assume you concede that going strictly by content, your signature is more annoying than his. Snoopy's is a one line link to his Web site that is Celtics related, and has no banner or popup advertisements whatsoever"

I never said a thing about Snoopy's signature. If something is at the very end of the e-mail, it shouldn't bother anyone. Whjat I was talking about are the constant references to his site. "Celtic Beagle website" this.... "CBW" that. "E-mail your prediction to this e-mail address." "Check out the game summary on the CBW". I don't save the e-mails from this list, but don't be naive and say the only time we hear about that website or about e-mailing predictions to it is in his signature. It's enough already. And by the way, show me one time that I have promoted using MSN besides the line that shows up at the end of my e-mails that I don't even put there.

"That's a shame, because if you don't care about other people's differing opinions then I guess you must not expect other people to care about yours."

I never said I didn't care about other peoples opinions. I read here because I like to see what other peoples opinions are. A lot of times people here have different opinions. What I said is that I didn't care if anyone agreed with MY opinion. What that means is that if someone disagrees with me it is not going to scare me off or cause me to stop giving my opinion. I'm not going to run and hide and never say another word because Big Bad Francis disagreed with me.

You went "out of your way" to sign up for an e-mail service that you know
includes annoying commercial advertisements.  Instead of paying a small
fee to avoid perpetrating that which offends you, you instead attack
others for including similar content.

I assume you concede that going strictly by content, your signature is
more annoying than his.  Snoopy's is a one line link to his Web site that
is Celtics related, and has no banner or popup advertisements whatsoever.
Yours is anywhere from one to several lines promoting a variety of
Microsoft products that have nothing to do with the Boston Celtics.

That's a shame, because if you don't care about other people's differing
opinions then I guess you must not expect other people to care about
yours.  If that's the case, then I wonder why you even wasted any time
posting your opinions to begin with.
