One has to discern which posts are of interest to them Al, and which ones are not. My reply was addressed to Ricky, whom I don't believe was joking.

One can usually tell immediately by the subject line what the contents are going to be about. Simply skip over the posts that have little or no appeal. Some may enjoy reading posts that others may dislike. You mentioned football as an example. There are many others ... like cars of the day, jokes of the day, lottery ticket drawings, polics, on-line poker games, sports, birthday greetings, are just a few others. Yes, this message board is devoted primarily to chips, as its founder Greg Susong had intended, but even Greg permitted and encouraged other subject matter to be posted.
