Do you think the CPF is different when the Mets are winning rather than losing? How so? Later

Choices 3 and 4 are the same, no?

More fun, although there could be other reasons why things are more fun around here...

I think it's been more fun, but for the other reasons that Irish hinted at. And like Elster, I can't see the difference between the third and fourth choice.

I went with #3. The Mets' winning has nothing to do with the level of fun around here. I was having a particularly miserable time posting here when they were 10-2.

Yancy, 88, When I was coming up with the questions, I thought there might be a scenario that while things around here could be the same in terms of amount of participation and viewpoint, there would be a certain edge to the writing. That translates to me as not having as much fun. That was sort of based on a comment a while ago that there didn't seem to be as much participation in POTG voting in games the Mets had lost. Vote your conscience. Later

More Karate Kid material is a good thing, and I guess more winining leads to more being a position to sweep the other teams legs, which triggers more Karate Kid material. Do you have a problem with that, Mister?

Back in the olden' days the best writing contributions came when good Met teams played badly (circa 1998-2000). IGTs are more fun when the Mets are winning. That much seems clear.

I don't think the CPF funometer is any higher or lower with respect to the win / loss record. Bitching and complaining about the Mets is fun and en- joying their success with ya'll is fun. The posters here are a lot more objective here than some other posters think, but I'm covering old stale ground there.
