Subject: PEOPLE: Compiling List of Netters/Teams

Well, this "Cardinal Fans Caravan" thing has me interested in a larger-scale 
project, (if I have the time), and the *ahem* vocal Jays support has also made
me interested in this project, which is to compile a list of the number of fans
on this subject and their team followings.  In particular, I wanted to get an 
idea of who the rabid fans are on this board and who they are rabid about.  For
instance, just reading this board tonight, I come away with the feeling that the
only teams with supporters on this group are the Jays, Expos, BoSox, ChiSox, and
Cubbies.  I know from EXPERIENCE that this is not the case.  Therefore, this 
(probably too massive for me) project. 

I guess that I'm really trying to get a feel of how the mail on the net is aimed
as far as membership goes.  What I would like is for everyone who reads the mail
on this group more or less every day (or every other day) to send in an e-mail
reply to the address below with the following information:

			-Name (REAL, as in the name listed under sender:
				in the headings, "Kurt M. Bose", not kbos)
			-Team (as in "Orioles", one team only)
		Both of these should be in your subject line.
			-Degree of Stat-headedness (1-off the (stathead)
				pigs!, 5=I don't care, 10=OPS is the
				only way to find the True Meaning of Baseball
				(I'm kidding, but you know what I mean.)
			-Degree of Devotion (1=you like the name, 10=you
				would kill the opposing team if asked)
			-Degree of Posting (5=post often enough that someone
				has heard of you, or someone might recognize
				your .sig, 10=a true R.S.BB personality, and
				you know who you are.)
			-Degree of Combatativeness(1=truly open-minded, 10=
				that obnoxious Blue Jays Fan (tm))

Since I know there are THOUSANDS of people who read R.S.BB, I'd like to limit 
this survey to all those who can score a 5 or higher on the "Posting" category.
Not because I don't like you, but because I want to keep this more in line for
those people who are regular posters, rather than those who don't even know how
to followup an article.  This way, a good idea of the actual traffic on this 
group (hopefully) can be tracked.

I admit it, I'm new here. (Is four months new?? I thought so.)  But other than
about a dozen names that are right off the top of my head, I only know most of
the people here by usernames.  A systematic breakdown of Who's Who on R.S.BB 
might help everyone out there who feels that 'they're the only one(s) out
there.  And maybe I'll get swamped and give it up.  But I'd like to try.

If you'd like to help, DO NOT USE THE REPLY KEY TO ANSWER THIS POST!!!!!
I've got too much regular mail to sift trough everything, so I'm using a friend.
Please send all responses to this address:

Thanks for ALL the support anyone cares to give.
