Thanks for the Best Wishes

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

Since Friday’s game ended I have received more than 250 positive emails with good wishes; positive vibes; declarations of support; good tidings and real class. We are embraced. I am sure ratings will be through the roof today as it is another do or die game.

I have only received 3 negative emails since Friday from the same group of know-it-alls that write to me on and on and on. One guy is grumpy about lack of giveaways at games. One guy wants us to lose to prove he is a better GM than George. One guy just hates everything about life and us and the team although he is a self-promoted #1 fan and sees his success in other’s failures. Stew away in your grumpiness. The sun is shining right now. You have been overwhelmed with positive signals.

Follow Me on Twitter Now

Some folks have asked so here goes. I am full up on friends on Facebook. I have reached their max allowable number of friends of 5,000. At times, I will blow someone off on my friends list for being too aggressive on my wall or someone will leave the network. This allows me to add a friend from time to time. I do not want to create a Fan page. I am not a celebrity. I think that would NOT be authentic to why I am online and connected to communities that I live within.

So Facebook for me now is pretty static. They should increase the number of allowable friends allowed into my network. I really don’t understand why they won’t allow me to have more friends, ”you gotta have friends”. I also do not regularly use Facebook email. I have enough email at my two primary email accounts. The last thing I need is yet another place to log into and talk to folks. I also think Facebook email is sub optimal in performance.  If you need me and you are a friend, you know my email address. It’s been the same one for the last 17 years. My secondary account is now 9 years old too at Washingtoncaps@aol.com.
