OOPS! Did I forget to mention that I am planning on "phantom" emailing him using YOUR email address? ;-)

Email is good to go.

He saw where we had 750 members, subscribed to Gatornews and immediately fired off his "flame attack" without knowing that ALL subscribers of Gatornews are moderated. There are only a handful of "reporters" who are unmoderated, but everyone else has to be approved by me or Jerry before their post is sent out to the list. Of course, not only did I not approve his post, but I banned him. Then, I sent his post out to Gatortalk just to show everyone an example of some of the stuff that Jerry and I block them from receiving. Of course, MOST of what we block is porn and SPAM, so Lynn was a mild example. FWIW, he never subscribed to Gatortalk. He went for the largest audience. Anyway, it light of this information that you have provided, I'm going to recommend that we DO NOT TEXT BOMB his phone as planned. If we prevail, and you want to send a FRIENDLY jab at the end of the game, I think that should be ok, but NO FLAMES during the game, ok? His post, although uninvited and from the "enemy", was still "friendly" per se. Brian, you might want to warn him that he made a mistake in flaming us and that we are as rabid as it gets. Teasing us is akin to playing with a full grown alligator and then being surprised your hand was bitten off. ;-) Randy ----- Original Message ----- From: brian hicks <mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, December 26, 2008 8:23 PM Subject: [gatortalk] Re: Gatortalk - 18 new messages in 3 topics - digest Bene "Lynn" Benedict is a very good friend of mine who went to OK a few years back. He resides now in the same community I do in Michigan just south of Grand Rapids and officiates high school football and basketball games. Last month he had some knee surgery, however, so I don't think he officiating bball currently. He got me involved in football officiating, too, and I have enjoyed doing it for three years now. We both belong to the West Michigan Officials Association, which has been the home of some very elite college and NFL officials as they progressed up the officiating ladder. Recently Lynn was laid off from his job at the local high school due to budget cuts. His position was to work with kids who were too sick to go to school but well enough to keep up with their studies if they could be tutored at home. I had never heard of such a service (free, too), but 2 years ago when my daughter was experiencing a series of panic attacks, she had to miss three months of school and "Mr. Benedict" came by 2-3 times per week to assist with her studies. It is a shame that had to be cut from the budget this year. I'm sure Lynn's interest in Gatortalk is just to have a good time...I don't think he's run across anything quite like it or Gatornews... Most likely he's just responding to the posted "barbs" I've tossed his way lately. Please be kind with your comments and enjoy the fun...especially on Jan 9...I believe he really thinks the Sooners are going to win...!!!
