Nick,

What ever happened to the guy who wrote the article online about how dumb everyone in the nfbc New York was and then get smoked. I know KOQ joined his website and everything.

I think you will do well in this contest solo- Nick. good luck-

No one ever really responded to the original topic here. Yes, there are some guys who are younger like me and Rockwell and Lance and stuff, but in general it is more like the mob bosses from 'back home' in Casino who are showing up with their oxygen tanks and what not. There are a lot of guys on this message board, like UFS, who will get you riled up over the Internet, but when you see them in person and the nurse from the convalescent home is wheeling them over to the table and making sure they are not having an incontinent moment and you just feel bad for them.

Seriously, I'd put the average age between 40 and 45.

I'm in my early 30's. Is that too young?

Those guys actually drafted as a team of 4 or 5 people, and for the most part are pretty nice and knowledgeable. I'm not sure why he felt the need to write that article, but it certainly came back to bite him. FWIW, that site went under shortly after that debacle.
