Well its nice that you recognize the fact that you were causing some strife 
here.  And yes some of those statements were absurd...

I think there has been way too much name calling on this list, so lets all 
try and chill a little

Lying/falsifying is just something that has to go.  I assumed this would be 
fairly intellectual banter, so lying is out the window guys.
Ruffling feathers and Woofing has to stay, thats what I'm here for :-)

Ok, I accept your apology. Now shut-up and talk football.  And speaking of 
football, your team, the WHINERS had a very unconvincing win, looks like 
they're rolling downhill now.... I know because I'm a Giants fan already at 
the bottom of the hill, thank you very much.

Now onto the Woofing:

The GIANTS WON!!!!!!!!!!!! YES! YES! YES!
