Re: Almost Speechless, new members, and posts
The commissioner is glad to see the gloves have come off for the distaff side of Sanford. Welcome to the fray, but I fear your subtlety will be lost on Kev. Try a more frontal blast to get his attention. The Commish is nevertheless appreciative for the humor shown from the first sentence on. We need to hear more from Bran, as she is never at a loss for an opinion.
On the subject of adding members to the league, a few cautions should apply. Right now, at 10 with Naples sharing one feed, we are at the limit for notification via email of comments and new posts, so new members will not have that perk. It is the commissioner's feeling that having email notification helps some keep active in the league. Sanford, Manchester and Peterborough could share email notification as could Omaha if Karen decides to join.
Another factor is the creation of the picks database. It does take some time to create it originally and then score it each week. It also could get too large to view clearly based upon the reduction in size needed to fit it in the blog template. This is not to say we cannot add new members, but we need to keep in mind some limitations do exist.
Some members have never used the blog, or used it so sparingly that they might not want email notifications anyway. If a member volunteers to give that perk up it would add expansion space.
Another issue is communication through comments. If a member chooses to pull up a past post and use the comment feature to post his picks, then the picks can be easily missed. It is better to use a new post for all communication, using the RE: designate to target a particular post in the subject line.
The Commish is excited about the coming season and he is pleased that so many have shown interest in the new season. He will be viewing the first two weeks' games with the Peterboroughs and will return to Fort Myers on Sept 19.

p.s. - Karen might be interested in joining the league. I told her to act today if she wants in. Of course, I'm not sure she will pass the membership requirements. Then again, Kevin did, so Karen should be a lock.
