Sorry about the lack of Meet the Users posts. I have been writing a bunch of research papers and have finals this week. I will begin posting some more Meet the Users after this Friday.

You have to have a kicker blow your shot at meet the users while you sit on the sideliness hoplessly before you feel the Bills.

Wow, we expected more on that, Beast, you know, with Spanish being the primary language in LA and all.

I took my required two years of Spanish during my freshman and sophmore years of high school and I gotta tell you I don't remember anything from it. They should have required us to take it all four years.

LMAO! I remember a little bit. I still know how to conjugate some verbs. At least you remember that there was a question mark in the beginning and the end of an interrogative sentence... I hope. ;)

That's hugely debatable. Indeed, every other country in the world disagrees with you...

Have you not learned anything in the last 10 years Alex? Whatever America says is right. Whatever every other country does is obviously wrong compared to what the US of A does.

I took French in Middle School, and Spanish in my freshman year. I don't know why I decided to stick with French in my Junior and Senior year instead of Spanish. I guess it was because I kept hearing things about the Spanish teacher and how she kills people's GPAs. I hope during college, I can become trilingual. (English, Arabic, French)

I took French and German, and during the Mock Oral for French two years ago, I started to talk about boring lessons, and I said "langweilig." Which you may know is German for boring, not French for boring. To compound the misery, I didn't know what the French equivalent was, so I had to say something else entirely. I only went down that line because I thought I knew the word for boring... :(

That may be one of the worse stories ever... but I can appreciate it because I had a very similar experience in college while taking my Spanish Oral comps.

Yeah, c'mon Beast, the old users need some love. Does seniority mean nothing around here? I just dug up my original email from Dan (took it out of the frame :) ) and here's what it said (sent on March 14th, 2006 and I joined that day):

Hi Rob:

I just noticed your article on SportsColumn.com.

My friends and I started a site similar to SportsColumn last week -- but better. Users actually vote for the best stories. Stories are published on all relevant pages -- the front page, yes, but also the league's page, the team's page, and the player's page. Anyone can write. You can make your own blog. We have stats loaded for every NBA and MLB player, and a lot of NFL players, through last year. We are also building an encyclopedia. And you can even write _news_ stories.

Oh, and we have over 125 registered users. Not bad for a site that's officially a week old! You'll certainly get more than the few comments you got over at SportsColumn.

The site is ArmchairGM.com. I highly suggest you click the "first time?" button -- that brings you to our tour. Actually, just go to http://armch...rsttime.html -- that's the direct link. (The "next" buttons at the top are broken, so use the ones at the bottom.)

Feel free to cross-publish your SportsColumn article with us. And write for us whenever you'd like! If you have any questions, let me know. I'm always around to help.

Yours,

Dan
