Thanks. You've made made your intent clear. You just felt like cross-posting some flame-bait to "prove a point." Of course when people did care you went on to argue about it.

With little to post except "attitude" don't be surprised by what you get back... especially in these forums. If you want to continue that sort of experiment there are other NoL forum sites where where you can do it. It is not needed here. It's going to be a long off season and...

You nailed it, it is ALL the attention that I get, and of course the gloating that I can now do. It has been near a month since the posting on SC site, 1 reaction, ccmp, who also reacted as 1 of 3 (including me) to the posting on SF. Sorry, my head is swimming alittle from the attention I'm getting. I guess it was just my honest reaction to the story that Mr. Nottle wasn't coming back. It wasn't really about him, it was more that my first thought was, who is going to care? Then...

Thank you ccmp. I agree. I don't agree altogether about "homework" and "facts", seems to be alot of, I heard, and, somebody told me stuff. I must say I don't care for the wizard of nlfan coming in to pass judgement with out be accountable for his words. When the wizard comes out from behind the curtain, he is a man, and wrong sometimes.

And never mind the spelling side issue...what exactly was the point of your recent "nobody cares" posts in multiple threads, aawatcher, other than some mixture of gloating and trolling for attention to yourself? You don't actually feel that those posts made a useful contribution to anything, or do you?

What seems apparent, aawatcher, is that you made an attempt to be sarcastic (or perhaps sarcastically funny) and got a rebuttal out of it. Honestly, I never would have felt compelled to post if not for reading yours. It did "strike a nerve" with me (nothing serious, of course) which is why I responded in kind....with sarcasm.

On the other hand, nlfan did his homework and responded with facts about the issue. Once the season nears, you can bet that more people will be...

It's easy to see that the nerve that has been hit is yours.

It started with others --not me-- picking on your spelling in your first posts. ccmp says you're wrong. You then claim the media didn't cover it. I'm asked by someone in SF to set the record straight and I did (otherwise I would have ignored the topic). You want to change the subject to "which is more pitiful?" You now say that doesn't count since because I'm honest enough to admit I...

WOW! checking my profile, wondering if my spelling of defence makes me a Canadian. Seems I've bent a nerve alittle, get a grip man! Your assertion that "people did care" because you talked to somebody or that you Know somebody who might care but they just don't post, doesn't hold water. On the chance that your right that it was in the paper or on the radio, even though your not completely sure, just talked to someone that read and heard stuff, I concede. The fact that...

You were just plain WRONG.

People did care (contradicting your first post).

They did cover it in the paper and on the radio (contradicting your third post).

Do you live in Sioux Falls? Did you check with anyone there? I don't live there but I was told by someone

So, you were defending them when you said "too easy target to bother picking on", nice defence! Again with the grammar lesson, I guess going back over the thousands (damn) of posts you've blessed us with I'm sure sentence structure, punctuation and spelling were always perfect. (nice shot at me, the spelling shot really cuts deep) Yes your right I am interested in what they're doing, I guess I don't see were questioning the interest level of the other fans is taking...

Which is more pitiful defending SF or taking a cheap shot, being factually wrong about it (in two posts) then trying to argue it's the stronger position? That's even without commenting about misspelling one word in the original 3-word post (which I haven't until now). On top of all that you actually seem interested in him by commenting about his actions or you wouldn't have mentioned his signing.

Somewhere irony wins out over...

I see were Mr. Shirley has signed Regas, thats a great start on the returning players. Mr. nlfan, Isn't it even more insulting to Sioux Falls to say that they may be to pitiful to criticize? Its a fair Question, given your defence of them as somebody "too easy target to bother picking on"

Well stated nlfan....and touche on the "easy target" comment.

I would be careful, however, as inside information tells me that the Canaries will have a large core group back next year with Shirley. And a healthy SF club is much more like their first half, than their injury-filled second half.

Aren't the Canaries too easy target to bother picking on?

Contrary to your statement I've been told it did get local coverage. It was covered in the Oct. 19 Argus Leader (though there's nothing about it in the online version). It was discussed on KSWN radio and

as for, nobody cares, nobody did, until you came in. Nothing in the paper, nothing anywhere but here. You only came in on it to defend Mr. Shirley's honor, you didn't need to, its the lack of interest by the fans I was commenting on. Ignorant, I think not.

hahahah....very nice barkeep!!!

Steve Shirley is a great manager, and an even better person. Any team would be lucky to have him running the show. I can assure you, aawatcher, that there are a number of people who do care. Perhaps you should keep your clearly ignorant comments to yourself.

The Canaries just announced they've signed Shirley through 2009.

Them "Surly Birds" may continue their winning ways for a while.
