@wilw That makes sense. The older I get the more I realize just how powerful a force nostalgia is, for good and bad. Makes perfect sense, I think I care about my teams at all for nostalgia reasons too.
I have to say, I've spoken to a few times now (both here and on twitter) and I have though about the social/psychological perspective of what it must look like from your end (and mine) as a well known person. You'd probably not been interested but each time we have an exchange it always has me lost in thought on what is probably going through your head on the other side of the screen. Its probably too much to go into exactly what I mean, more than you'd want to read anyway. Just saying you had me pondering things lately in that regard is all.
