Are we on information overload?

A thought I've had in other subject areas is creeping into my 'Ram Fan life'.

Ever wish as I have that 'nervous Nellie' stock exchange buyers and sellers didnt know every time someone in the Middle East sneezed or scratched themselves, and promptly started a flurry of activity which ended up putting stocks in a nosedive?

With internet mesage boards like our own Planet Rams out there for all to read and contribute to, I sometimes think I pay too much attention to the most extreme opinions. Overall I think its a great thing that technology allows us folks with a passion for Rams football to have a dialogue with each other about what's going right and whats going wrong with the team, but I catch myself getting really dejected on my own when things are going like they are for the 2007 Rams, without logging on and reading many other folks' thoughts about what exactly is wrong and who should fix it.

Some fans have extremely detailed problem analysis which apparently come from high school/college experience as players or just a very deep study of football. I'm not into the mechanics of the game that deeply, almost seems that sort of study is a coaching level interest where you cant sit back and enjoy the game because you're focusing in on one area extensively. I might focus in one a specific area occasionally, but not often.

One thing I do appreciate at Planet Rams is that Patti and all the gang seem to be folks around my level of interest, rather than casual bandwagoners or total Fanatics!
