Re: Dan's involvement with the Fantasy Club

["Rick Myers" <leviathan_60@hotmail.com>]

Well said Preston, I agree.  The game requires someone to be the final 
arbiter of disputes.  For many years Dan has been willing to provide the 
time and effort required to fill that job, and to absorb the critcism 
that inevitably comes with it.  
I feel he is right, in calling an end to the argument...the fighting and 
complaining.  It interferes with the enjoyment of the game, and needs to 
be dealt with.
