This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Thanks. I do adjust the average ratings by BabaGhanouj
by a few things, one of those is playing on the national team. But, if the girl's rating is already below 12, there is no benefit (assuming the top twelve belong on the team). In Citron's case, she currently has a 19.5 rating, so I give her another point benefit, 18.5. That may be not enough. On the other hand I don't want to penalize girls who don't have the parental time and money to work towards the national team.
But you may be right to give the national team members more benefit. Thanks.
Not by a famous person, but I also like "73.6% of statistics are made up".
