I would now like to very publicly thank the moderators for allowing a bit more balance back into the forum. I think people may still be a little leery of what they can post, but the pictures and off-topic joking over the last couple weeks has been largely left alone.

That is, IMHO, a very good thing; and I thank you guys for backing off a bit.

FWIW, I disagree. I just came back from a couple of days away -- I could hardly make it through all the posts with the off-topic crap -- moslty from one or two posters. My guess is that about 50% of the threads disintegrate into OT lame jokes etc. If you want to make a joke, make it in the context of answering the OP (or a variant thereof that deals with basketball officiating).

And, while I think that Ceaser's Ghost's post to Billy was a bit harsh, I certainly understand where it was coming from.

I'll go away again.
