[BD] quality of BD discussion

2005-08-19 Thread tom white
yo! It seems to me that the overall quality of BD discussions is going down. There are a few factors that are contributing to this decline. 1) less imformed people writing to BD 2) less personal comments, and insults directed at writers 3) less use of stars to indicate missing letters 4) I'm no

yo! I'm part of a team, and I wanna wear the kit! I want the people on my team to be wearing the team kit too. I don't need a UKU rule to make me wanna have a team kit worn by all. If teams need to pick up superstars to make the grade, so be it - there's no punishment for not being a "proper"
