Actually, this is at least the second go-round on the chaplain topic. It started with this thread back at the beginning of May. The current thread is largely a rehash of the same issues that were debated back at the beginning of the month.

I don't judge how "weak" or "strong" a horse is by its longevity -- it's the number of blows it takes that matters. Over 200 posts saying more or less the same thing (on one side or the other) sure sounds like beating a dead horse to me.

My bad, didn't see that other thread...

I stopped reading around post 100 when I gave my input and read a few replies...after that, you are right...it reverted back to previous discussions.

I like having it on the front page....I very rarely read stories that aren't on the front page...It's much easier just to cruise around the main page and see what stories are hot...

I could pretty much care less about off topic, in season. Out of season, there is only so much speculation you can do, so it comes in handy.

Anymore, that's the only exercise I get...

Between this forum and the CBS Sportsline Mascot Poll, my right index finger is totally ripped with bulging muscles! Now if only I could do something about that pesky carpal tunnel syndrome...
