Occasionally, I write about whimsical stuff on this blog but mostly I write about serious, sometimes appalling, topics.
This is the 1369th essay I've published on this blog.
Guess what topic recently set a record for generating the most reader comments in the history of this blog.
The disaster in Iraq? The war against our civil liberties? Health care? Governmental corruption?
No.
Surely it was genocide? Bigotry? The dangers of Christian and Muslim religious extremism?
Not even close.
The weighty topic that infuriated readers more than any of the other 1368 essays I've published here: the future of pro hockey in Glens Falls.
There's something disconcerting about such a fact.
The title of the essay was 'Hell hath no fury like a hockey fan scorned.'
QED.

I'm almost surprised your soccer entry didn't generate more notes. But perhaps that is because the ones who did read it were too busy rioting and didn't have time to leave a note!
A lot of times what one creator thinks is really solid work, often times gets the least attention. Conversely, a lot of times the work that the creator thinks is poor &/or frivilous, gets all the laudations.
Video killed the radio star and the Knickerbocker Arena killed Glens Falls, BUT there is life after death, they are called the Rangers
Sorry Les, but I consider the Rangers to be a fate worse than death. :-)
