Thanks all of you for dealing with my eruption yesterday with some dignity and grace rather than compounding the problem.
Not sure really why I blew up - some comment triggered something or other and I am a humble International Relations and Sociology guy, no shrink.
We can't switch rules mid-inaugural draft. We can revisit the whole DH issue another time once a season has gotten under way. But it is too controversial to impose by a narrow majority and force a bunch of people to leave the league who want to be in it and joined under certain rules and expectations.
So we will have a legitimate debate about it further on, for another season but Season 1 we will do without it because the rules were written that way, people signed up to the league that way and and we can always hear arguments for it pro or con another time.
Thanks.
I will start updating soon. I did not log on last night as the whole thing, plus an annoying sitemail from an owner (who blew up another prog I was in and loved) from another league keeps insisting I trade a star player for a part-time utility guy in his last season, plus in my other prog league there was some confusion about the drafting system and whether we need to change it and throw in Gaza, Ukraine, Delaware etc. and aarrgh !
Anyway, crisis passed. Let's move on. I will get stuff up and running shortly.
