Okay I am suitably humbled by both Cooley and Clarnzz.... let me just go to my room and meditate on my sins... oh and in the future I'll try to dumb down my grammar and demonstrate a suitable lack of communications skills so as not to offend the resident ACLU.

Patriots....
One tip...some people are just more anal than others....

I think if grammar or your posting style does anything it is this.

When people see things like your first post they assume one thing. This person is a kid. Whether or not they come out and say it or not, I get the impression they are still thinking it.

Is this fair....IMO...no, not really. I do think that of all the OOTP online leagues..there is a high turnover rate of owners, and of that, there are a higher percentage of high school kids than any other group.

Here is another thing people new to online leagues should probably realize. The guys running the leagues, the commish, the assistant commishes or league presidents, and all the guys behind the scenes that pitch in and do alot of the things that may be unique or extra for their respective leagues, INVEST alot of their time into their respective leagues. I think, and rightfully so, they do not let just anyone in. They want an incoming GM to oarticipate and atleast do the things neccessary to properly run the team they are recieving. Anything less is disrespecting their investment.

I think people jump to conclusions when it comes to younger people or high school kids, although I understand where the commishes are coming from.

I'm not saying any of this are my opinions, I'm just saying that this is what I'm observing in the 5 or 6 onlinr leagues I've been in, as well as reading these forums.

P.S.
If you ever feel the need to pick on my grammar, lol...I have no excuse. I'm just a 30 year old guys who spends way too much time playing this silly game who always did pretty bad in English. (Oddly enough, I tend to be an active writer in the leagues I'm in...ironic..)

For the love of...... let the man post, he is just trying to find a league. Sorry Pats, you'll need a new thread, and I wont delete this one because HolyCow98 is right and his ponts would be wasted if I deleted it.
