OP, I applaud your effort and passion and most of us share your sentiments. The only problem is getting the blessings of the "Message board cowboys." The negative replies are from the same people who attack everyone who does not fit their description of who should be posting on "their" board. So rather than read and receive another person's thought they simply look at the join date and number of posts then wage their classless attacks. They're the critics who come down after the war and shoot the survivors.
I appreciate your thoughts from a decent Cane Fan!
Oh, you're the guy who wants to give a trophy to every kid. Sure, we could all pat the OP on the back and tell him what a great mission he is on, but we would be lying. He did it for nothing. We all agree with his sentiment, but he doesn't deserve applause for hacking up a long email that will never reach its intended audience.
