I really appreciate the fact that so many of you are using the Message Board; we have it here for you to enjoy. However, I would ask you again to "please play nice." I recently had to remove a thread of comments that just got out of hand. I know that you folks can get enthusiastic about Alabama gymnastics, and that is great, but it is probably the reason that this particular thread got out of bounds. We really need to keep things within the boundaries of good taste, and hopefully you can do that without having to dampen your passion for the sport, the University, and the team.

The thread of comments I removed could have been interpreted as:

• calling into question the taste of the coach and the integrity of the web master;
• stating that our ladies are not getting all that they deserve;
• calling other posters names.

Boy, I actually have to work for a living aside from trying to keep track of the web site. Please do me a favor and try to keep your comments a little more "between the lines." I really do not want to get into the censorship business.

Have a good day and get ready for the Fall Barbecue which is not far off. By the way, get yourselves some of those Four-Star Drawing tickets.
