| Message | I support ongoing discussion on expansion and I have made it clear I am in favor of adding 1 or 2 teams whenever the league feels it is most beneficial. |

| Message | Wow Goon - first you say there's massive support to move ahead with expansion and now you swing to the other end saying that "it is clear there is no appetite for expansion." How about we have an extended conversation about it - and not make a rush decision either way? It takes time to think through this to see if it's good for the league and GM/owners. |

| Message | For the record, I'm happy to expand...I think ten teams would be a good number. I have no problem with dilution of talent - lower scorers simply become more important. We could also expand the farms systems (add two players per farm team) and this would increase the chances of parity. More teams with more players to choose from would likely reduce the likelihood of long term, franchise dominance (a la Blazers, Dukes and to a lesser extent, the Eppsters who won the FHL Cup for one-year straight in the early days). I will always vote in favour of expansion. |

| Message | I've put the issue of expansion long behind me Epp. It's clear there is no appetite for expansion at this time, so you'll never here from me again on this issue. |

| Message | Hey - how come you never apologize like that to me Epp? |

| Message | Dear GM Goon, I'm sorry your feelings were hurt by our banter about expansion. Sometimes I forget that this is a group counselling session, not a hockey pool built on mutual insults and competition. I hope you'll accept this big cyber-hug from me and allow me to metaphorically wipe your tears away. Hugs and smooches, GM Epp |

| Message | I guess I have to resort to going through the back channels to get anyone to take this issue seriously. I was simply looking to give a guy a chance to enter a hockey pool, open up some discussion, and seek input from all GM's, but instead, well....whatever. |
