4. do not make this only about hof. it is not only hof. it is not only a few. look at the

threads with all the other voices. the recommends. do not dismiss all those voices on du. it is wrong. it is not nice. and it should be called out each and every time. that is not the reality. a lot of people are putting in their time, and being a strong voice. what a disservice to ALL those people. and there are lots and lots.

wow. what an insult. lol
