I'm guessing 80% of DDP teams are back to the drawing board.

Pffft. Not mine. I only pick people that I've heard of.

Felix Browder, a mathematics prodigy who graduated from MIT at 18 and received his PhD at 20, but who struggled to gain a foothold in the academic world of the 1950s because his father, Earl Browder, was a longtime leader of the U.S. Communist Party, died Dec. 10 at his home in Princeton, N.J. He was 89. The cause was a stroke, said a son, Bill Browder.

Dr. Browder was renowned in the field of nonlinear functional analysis — a branch of mathematics with wide applications to such fields as physics, engineering and finance. He later chaired the mathematics department at the University of Chicago and in 2000 was awarded the National Medal of Science by President Bill Clinton.

Oft-mentioned shortlister Craig Sager won't be making the starting line

 

Didn't he attend the Hall of Fame thing? That was quick then.

So that's one of your Deathrace subs - fielded because a member of your team died - now also carked.

 

You might want to supply a third sub since you're down to 20 Deathracers from the 22 you already lined up

There were times, in his career, when he came across as somebody who saw himself as bigger and/or more important than the conflict he was reporting on.

I guess my blocking doesn't work when someone comments on the blocked post--making it visible. Admins need to look into that. When I block something I don't want to see a single reference to it ever. Posts like this is why I blocked this fool--but moreso his remblings of the obvious and things that go without mentioning--that he has a Tourette's-like need to mention.

So knowing the blocking function isn't what it purports to be makes me sadder than all the denizens of Shreveport combined.

Wow. It sounds like you're doing more blocking than the LA Rams' offensive line.

"Admins need to look into that"

 

That said, I think you'll find it's the same on most forums. In my experience it's common to see blocked users' posts being visible when quoted. It is a nuisance.

TBF, 90% of the forum users don't want to read SCs shite but end up having to when it ends up in quotations.

Might save everybody a heartache if he just fucked off never to come back.
