    Glad to hear it. We've found that formatting makes for the best presentation when you have a list like that. Keep up the good work,

    Sorry about the roundtable. I have been negligent, partly because the two other usual participants were not in the mood or didn't have the time, and I apologize.

    I hate it that you took the time to answer the last set of questions I sent and that I didn't publish them. I know it takes a chunk of valuable time to answer these thoughtfully.

    I'm sending out an email tonight with a new set of questions. I'd like to have it up by the end of the week, or at the latest, before All-Star weekend and the trade deadline.

    It will be longer than usual, especially if all four of us can do it, but hey, the Spurs are worth the space, right?

    Thanks for your patience with the roundtable and nice article on Manu.

    Also, it's usually better to leave the score out of the headline unless the score is what's notable about the game, like 150-149 or something crazy. The score is usually unnecessary to get the message across and is best to put in the first three paragraphs somewhere.

    Ahh, gotcha on the naval reference. Feel free to tweak it again. Just try to avoid repeating any words in the headline, i.e. when you use the "Spurs-Clippers:" leading tag to the headline, use the city names or a nickname of the nickname (like Clips) for the next time. That was the main reason for my edit.

    I'm not sure the Spurs were the Spurs last year, but I certainly think they'd have taken a couple games. Roger Mason's been up and down, but I think he really adds something that could make them more dangerous this year. We'll see. First the Celtics would have to make it to the Finals, and right now they've got a lot of kinks to iron out to make that happen.

    Thanks for signing on to the roundtable. You'd probably be interested in reading the piece I just published on the Spurs, Mavs and Rockets. Let me know what you think.

    Yes, I do need your email. So I can send you the questions. Just email me at robertkleeman@mail.utexas.edu, and I'll record your address. Not sure when we'll do the next one, but I'll send you the questions nonetheless.

    Very nice slide show on the Olympic games; however, your final slide has no text. Just a heads up.

    Have a great day.
