I was unaware of this site until Roy so gracefully mentioned this "chat room" in his letter!!
The good news is that Roy is a great source of amusement(not because he tells good jokes!) for most of the people that have know him for for more than 10 minutes. The bad news is, even the village idiot can be dangerous if he has a sharp knife.
It appears that Roy is not alone on the IHL board with very high regard for his opinion. Another IHL board member today takes a shot at the NCAA (Clairon Ledger 4/17/04) during an ongoing investigation of MSU.
A nominated IHL board member already has ethical questions about future business dealings (C/L 4/17/04).
An outsider might question the IHL or even an insider. One of the last things I remember about Horace Fleming was his statement concerning the IHL..."dyfunctional body", shortly after his contract proposal from the board.
