re nhl letter quite long in catcherc j f netcom com catcher netcom com paul w francisco writes as she said the letter is addressed to bettman the post which though having pretty much the same content is an entirely different entity was addressed to all when she puts the letter in the mail i doubt it will say to all i figure she wanted to let people here see what was in it since it is a topic that interests a lot of folks here that s an entirely different purpose than sending the letter to bettman and it is a damn good thing that she did post it since she claims to represent people in rec sport hockey unfortunately the largest computer networks in the world phrase is a definition of the internet not a group as a whole that she claims to represent as her sole purpose in mentioning the net as steve gallichio has already pointed out is to lend weight to her points through association with the internet there is no other reason to mention the internet this is misrepresentation and if the internet was a private corporation alison would be leaving herself wide open to all kinds of civil suits for the business of whether or not it is large it is large compared to say the number of folks on r s h who are sending a letter to thank him for changing the names at least to this point and just for my this is not a letter it is a petition claiming to represent a large proportion of rec sport hockey users and by implication a significant number of internet users names can in no way be considered a large proportion of rec sport hockey which while we have no way of counting actual readership is accessible to hundreds of thousands of people persons is no more than a fly s fart in a windstorm own curiosity i thought i d look up the official definition of large in the dictionary it reads large having more than usual power capacity or scope exceeding most other things of like kind in quantity or size gee you looked up large in the dictionary what next two syllable words now i have no idea how many letters bettman may have gotten on the issue or how many people may have signed them people may be up there thereby validating definition i would also wager that the geographical range of signatures is quite large which would give it a large scope let me suggest that the only place you are likely to envy the magnitude of is when you are looking for ways to beef up your iq scores he might be impressed by the size of the list of names why would he be impressed with this unless it were large as i said he might be impressed by the size of the list of names but it would have to be considerably larger but even this definition does not account for the original context from which you lifted this sentence i personally don t know whether or not i agree with the letter i have very mixed emotions about it i like the names as they are and don t think they make it that difficult to learn the game but there might be a shred of validity to the change well then what the hell is your point you don t really know if you have an opinion about the hockey issue but you do know that you don t like me is that it cordially as always maynard ramsey cs laurentian ca so many morons rm and so little time
