I really do not care how popular I am. Just to illustrate, I think Ralph is one of the most knowledgeable posters on the board, and because of his position he has real useful information to share, but somehow his rating is upside down with more boos than likes.
The rating really means nothing (just like the boos from the stands-most of the time).
Thanks, John, for the kind words. Having more boos than cheers has never really bothered me as I ,like on the field, try to voice my opinion. It appears that I'm in good company as our fearless leader, Rulesman, also has a lopsided cheering / booing section

. Note : I just tried to go through and gave everyone on this topic a "cheer", but found that I needed to wait 2 hours to go beyond the first one...sorry,guys...
