@Marty: I am sure you know (almost) all of us appreciate a lot both your efforts for the league and the discussion. I for one have praised the discussions, the analysis, and the videos many times. Joe was clearly just making jokes, and I am sure you noticed that. Probably somebody has gone maybe a tad far in the jokes and perhaps you two can clarify this in private, but I think you should not at all feel that the vast majority of us does not appreciate. I am convinced you know it all too well already, but if it helps, here is my bid (others can follow):
"I appreciate your contribution. I can make some humor and take your humor. But I appreciate it."
