    Much better to have other people patting your back. Self-patting is not nearly as satifying.

    Not to sidetrack the thread, but since when did # become hashtag? I always thought it was called "pound" symbol? :confused:

    Kinda sucks that he didn't mention WHAT the idea was but it makes sense that he wouldn't share it out right.

    Since twitter. Originally, it served a purpose to categorize posts by topic.

    Now, people write something they consider witty and put a meaningless phrase afterwords as a "hashtag". Wordapp is a perfect of example. Insultingly lame.

    one of them may come true

    I'm a bit hesitant to post the emails themselves since if the idea doesn't work, obviously they are not worthy of being discussed - while if they work, I assume rockets would prefer to keep them relatively low profile to keep the competitive advantage.

    Here are some of the email titles that I sent in though:

    - Winning as much as we can without winning games
    - Draft position trade-up planning
    - Organized GM simulation games
    - Another possible CBA modification idea
    - Contract Negotiation: guarantee clause
    - Do we have any input on what specific clause to implement in the new CBA?
    - PR management about Yao's retirement
    - Any interest in expanding Idea@rocketball.com's intended audience?
    - A potentially legal way of maximizing the trade value of our draft picks
    - In case we are not into the rumored Melo trade
    - Some very primitive discussions on the next CBA and its possible impacts (This is basically the same thread we discussed in http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?p=5439250#post5439250 last year)
    - Potential Draftee training


    The rest of the email titles give away too much details of what I was trying to suggest, so I'll leave them out, but the above list should be pretty representative of what ideas I tried to come up with when emailing them. :)

    So playing fantasy basketball is one of your brilliant ideas?

    two, actually. :)

    you could be surprised about how brilliant fans could be in simulations organized according to the collective bargaining agreement. The last time I participated a simulation like this, there was some stunning trades that happened because fans went into great details of the CBA and found ways to make things happen... :grin:

    droxford, I'm with you... on the "I'm old" part of your post. :eek:
    Congratulations on NOT knowing why you're being congratulated, fool. :p
    He could also be a typographical artist. ;)

    Can you send another email asking which idea it was. It would be really cool to know...

    Probably only about .7% of the posters here will get that. I'm one of them, though. :p

    Ah, ok, maybe more than .7%. I didn't really realize that it has meaning in music, too.

    The "#" sign is also known as the "hash symbol" ... even before Twitter. In twitter, you're metadata tagging or "tagging" your post with a hash symbol... so... hashtag.
