HEllo Nathan,   
      
   By all means generate some conversation starters.  Last   
   season I think I started off posting the mlb schedule day by day, if you have   
   sources of good content that might draw the lurkers or interested folks from   
   various boards by all   
   means.   
      
   I used to subscribe to the usenet newsgroups for various   
   baseball teams back about ten years ago, but then they got   
   loaded with more spam than anything else.  TOpical content's always welcome   
   however.   
      
   I grew up in eastern Iowa, and naturally everybody around   
   there was either a Cardinals or Chi cubs fan it seemed.  We   
   used to have some of the best darned parties chartering a   
   bus to a cards cubs game from the city where I grew up.  I   
   think I rode on a couple of those way bck when.   
      
   I'd even neglected the usual first of month autopost of   
   rules in this conference, I was going to let it ride through this season and   
   see if anybody bit, if not let it drop into   
   the dead echo realm.  IF your gated sources start looking   
   good for the echo I could be persuaded to keep it alive   
   though.  I used to be quite a baseball nut, haven't had time in my old age,   
   but enjoy a good conversation on the subject   
   and appreciate your efforts.   
      
   Regards,   
              Richard
