Why do you post/read this newsgroup? How often do you post/read this
newsgroup?

1. For the purpose of a little bit of socializing/discussion about a topic I
have come to feel very enthusiastic about in the past two years. I had
never really been a sports fan before this, but it proved to be just a
matter of finding "my" sport.

Why RBR? Having accepted the fact that discussion on the Internet produces
trolling and flames as a matter of course, I have found that I prefer the
Usenet style of doing so over any other. There's also the fact that it's
text only, which leaves non-wordsmiths (to be VERY kind) at a distinct
disadvantage.

2. I read and post whenever I'm home, usually during study/practice breaks.

Geez that was long, what did it say? I don't have the attention span

Actually there is a whole lot less flaming and trolls on this group
than in the vast majority of other usenet groups. If Trdina, Chang and
Albright stay away there are only those who are irritated by just one
or two others that respond poorly. For instance, Greg?

Do you believe that limits the amount of reparte'?

That's a conditional statement, and trolls tend to be remarkably persistent.
But it's balanced out by a good deal of genuine insight.

In a word, no. People without words also tend to be without ideas, although
there are certainly people with words who have no idea.
