| I have never understood the logic behind apparently setting a base note
hidden, to all but some? and leaving a lot of meaningless replies for
everyone to read.
I consider it bad manners and bad practice.
What does everyone else reading this think?

| I think the base note isn't set hidden. I didn't see the usual "note
set hidden" message when I read it. It looks like it may have been
written by accident - operator error, machine trouble, etc. And, as
with many accidents, some people just have to gawk and speculate. ;-)
As for bad manners, if a note is set hidden without explanation, and if
it is done after it's been commented on, thus disrupting the
discussion, I'd find that a teensy bit rude - maybe on par with
somebody crossing in front of me at the movie theater without saying
"Excuse me" - but nothing to call the cops about.
I also think that the designated hitter rule should be abolished, and
that a foul on a three-point shot should be three free throws. Anything
else you want to know?

| The base note is not hidden; it simply consists of a blank line. Normally
I would have deleted it, but there was a reply by the time I saw it and I
thought it was funny, so I let it stay.
This conference's policy is in general to not hide notes but to return them
to their author for revision, if needed.

| re .5:
.flame on.
That's the most ridiculous thing I've read in a long time. The
perecntage of 3-pointers that get made when the shooter isn't
fouled is a lot less compared to the percentages of comparable
2-pointers; the numbers get even more skewed when you consider
that most shooting fouls are on close-in, high-percentage shots.
Get a clue.
.flame off.

| Re .9: What the hell does the shot percentage have to do with it? By
that logic, if Stoko Vrankovic gets fouled on a three-point shot he
shouldn't get any free throws at all, whereas if Magic Johnson does he
should get _four_ shots. And whatever should we do about Chris Dudley?
Go back to watching the tractor pulls.

fouled or otherwise, don't deserve the disk space for discussion.

| re .11:
Stojko just got traded for Gar Heard, so it doesn't matter how
many foul shots you give him.
And I think you might show a tad more respect for tractor pulls.
President Harry S Truman loved tractor pulls, and so did many
other important people, and just because you think that some
lah-dee-dah kultur-del-jour salon talking about oh-so-intellectual
mumblejumbo like gory edwardian novels makes you better than us
guys who are into the zen of country fairs, so what?

| Tractor pulls are for sissies. Us tough prairie chickens (gory/Gorey
tastes in literature notwithstanding) get our kicks from branding
calves, eviscerating trout, and beheading chickens. I only watch
basketball to see all those guys in their underwear.

re .10: Lynn, why is it a "waste of good disk space" ?
Well, when I started this topic, I was in doubt that the replies
would meet my goals. Now, I'm sure they didn't !

> Lynn what do you mean
If I might suggest a possible explanation for Ms. Gunderson it would
be this.
She needs disk space at work, and considers every byte holy, every
bit is sacred, and when she comes upon somoeone who has cast there
bytes/bits upon the ground as you have, it upsets her :-)

Most of the questions I have for men and about men here, that might
inquire as to why they're a certain way, have for the most part been
answered *just by reading what goes on in this notesfile*.
You can learn a lot by reading and listening to what goes on.

Men are as wonderful and awful and brilliant and terrifying and
magickal and horribal as women. Only in different ways.
Why does it matter *what* I think? I love men. Men frighten me. Men
are very intricate and complex. Men are extremely simple.
As Walt Whitman said, (and I paraphrase)
"Do I contradict myself? Well then, I contradict myself. I contain
multitudes."

What different ways?

I hate stereotypes! We are as diversified as a women. But please
explain why you feel men are simple.
> men frighten me
What in particular is it that terrifies you? I know for me that I get
a bit scared at times. Sometimes I just cannot communicate, I think
what I feel, and a majority of woman (IMHO) feel what they think. I am
trying tho', Heres an example that occured with me and my friend
last night.
( It's 11:00 p.m. at night"
Tammy: David I told my boss I would get a project done by tomorrow
afternoon so I have to go into work now!
David: Okay, don't work to hard.
Tammy: It really bothers me going in late at night, they area I work
in downtown is start to fill up with bumbs and drunks, I am a little
bit scared!
David (brilliantly sensitive): Oh really, you ought to take the 9mm
Smith and Wesson with you.
Tammy: I cannot believe you said that.
David: What! What did I say.
Tammy; Well it would be nice if you atleast showed that you cared
about me.
David: What do you mean? I recommended you bring a gun to protect your-
self)!!
Tammy: David, get a
clue!(slam,stomp,stomp,stomp,rhhhhhhhhhhhhh,ehhhrrr)
David: (In an empty home now) What the hell did I do?
Time elapses and I am talking to a female friend at work describing
the next day describing the situation. And to my surprise she says
Friend: David! She didn't want advice on preferred weaponery to defend
against bums! She wanted a sign that you cared about her!!
David: ( Feeling like a fool). Well why did'nt she say so?
Sincerely,

> What different ways?
How are men horrible? Some men do things I could never think of doing, and
they sometimes do them thoughtlessly. Some women do this too. But if
you have lived on this planet *YOU KNOW THAT*.
>

Because if you are around them enough, in certain ways they become
predictable. Women do too. But if you have lived on this planet you
know that also.
> What in particular is it that terrifies you? I know for me that I get

The capacity for violence in some men. Some men's inability to
extricate themselves from a strong need to WIN or have VICTORY. Some
men's inability to see that feeling can be as powerful as facts. Stuff
I can't control. I am sometimes terrified by my need for them, and by
their non-need for me. I know I'm generalizing. Sorry.
And about your discussion with Tammy, I don't believe any one person
can be a mind-reader. If I had been in her shoes and felt comfortable
enough expressing my needs to you (which I often have difficulty
doing in this world, particularly in relationships), I would have asked
you to escort me there, and possibly arranged to call you to pick me up
when I was finished, if I was very frightened and if it wasn't too far
to drive. Or building security could have done it, or whatever.
Often there's this hidden expectation in people that their love will
automagically (!) know how to meet their needs and they'll never have
to ask. It's the catch-22 of a woman I heard of always swearing to her
friends about how her husband never brings her flowers - how DARE he
not bring her flowers! How awful of him! When asked if he knew she
*wanted* flowers, she said, "No....I never asked.". Why would he bring
her something he never knew she wanted? But of course, she expressed
she couldn't ask him, that way she wouldn't know why he was doing it,
or she'd feel it was just because she'd asked, not because he wanted
to.
Very complicated when *expectations* are unspoken.
