We've asked Arlo, he keeps coming back with the same answer. He says it will be impossible to establish whos new and who isn't. I know Madison, DHC, Trev, etc.. were not new to Fantasy Baseball, but were still new to the site.

We would like all our members help out the new people to the site. We really don't need a special group for that.
Yes doctor, I am sick. Sick of those who are spineless. Sick of those who feel self-entitled. Sick of those who are hypocrites. Yes doctor, an army is forming. Yes doctor, there will be a war. Yes doctor, there will be blood.....

I'm still trying to work out a deal to send him and SoxFanatic over to the football side in exchange for a marble.

don't leave me out, guys. I may not have madison like numbers (or time), but i am a cagy veteran and my years of service with the cafe could match up with just about anyone. Everyone knows madison is a lock for the first pick. but let me throw in Jive dude for a high first rounder. The avatar with hasselhoff and gary coleman alone warrants him consideration in the top three.
Trevisc should be there too, though he has a history of extended visits to the DL, a fact that should decrease his value somewhat. I'd say 8th or 9th pick.
As far as a "New Member Committee," What sets of rules do we veterans follow? Many of us are guilty of misguided posts or drunken flame fests every once in awhile. I say we keep the cafe capitalist, let the market decide the rules. usually when i get out of line, i get ripped so bad i don't want to do it again, at least for a week or so. here, the market has decided an acceptable set of parameters. like "poop" is ok but you are borderline when you type "shit."
That's what I learned in school, and by the way, i did talk to my kindergarten teacher. She said she'd be willing to waive her no trade clause and come over (with two shoelaces and a vast knowledge of how to tie them) to the baseball cafe for rico and sox. What do you guys think? If we really work at it, maybe madison can sweet talk them and we can get the marble thrown in too.

How do you spell "biased?"
