I'd given up long ago on being the best poster. I've decided I'm very happy in putting minimal effort into my posts. I've certainly stopped caring about such things as spelling and grammar. Etc etc etc. Hell I recently turned down a pretty big promotion simply because we didn't want to uproot our family. I understand completely the putting family ahead of career. I'm happy in my decreased career trajectory because it allows me to spend far more time with the family (others have opposite motivations). Then again, because I am happy with that means you likely don't want me running the company because I'm simply not motivated to be the best of the best (doesn't mean I'm not motivated to do my job the best I can). Same as this case...you'd much rather have the guy who wants to be a part of that pinnacle than one content with a lesser professional prize (but higher personal prize).
You're putting in way too much effort explaining to someone who does things like bringing his own personal Pom poms to Joe Louis arena

Hear hear! Kinda reminds me of what Bill Gates said: I will always chose a lazy person to do a difficult job, because, he will find an easy way to do it.

lol Are you for real?

You have contributed basically zero to the "hockey talk" discourse over the past 10 years, yet have the balls to criticise a consistently good poster like Tant....

How about you shuffle back to the trash section of this forum where you belong.

Thanks Pot. they can go on if they like, they've essentially been on ignore in my mind for quite some time. Every once in awhile I like to feed them some scraps of attention.

Horseshit.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Tant and I have had our disagreements, well I disagree with everybody myself included, but Tant is quality hockey talk whereas SPIDEY...? Not much to add to Pots post, says it all

Well you can be king shit on Your Canucks Message Board all you want Ms. spudhead, I'm sure where you come from hockey bullshit ( and let's not kid ourselves, it's all bullshit on here as it's just a bunch of amateur fans posting their opinions) is highlight of your life.

As you freely admit you can not understand my sense of humour. Why start now?

Anal much? 8-)

That's pretty fun...no wait...that's the second time?! :shock:

Putting it into perspective here...patootie was pulled out of school in grade 8 after he embarassed her in a spelling bee, it was straight to work in the coal mines then...no Tant I like and if he had an original clever zinger in him I would consider it an hounor, this is no slap, it's like getting an STD from a virgin geisha :eh:
