That being said, it would appear by not checking in over the last few days I've missed out on some fun and was alerted to the recent discussion from the above mentioned survey.

I am amazed that there is even a dispute on this issue. I know of no league that has ever allowed the drafting of players that were not WIS eligible without making a specific rule outlining that exception -- usually as a selling point of the league to make it different from other leagues.

I also find the arguments given for such an aberration from standard progressive operating procedures to be silly and ill-defined. While CR can be abrupt in his arguments and even childish in some of his responses, he has clearly outlined and documented his points with experience (18+ progressive leagues), logic (great rebuttal on the NTL league post -- likewise to moneybonn), and facts (finding all those other potentially eligible players was brilliant).

However, in conclusion, on examining the above posts by crackmonkey and msl, after carefully working my way through the haze of spelling errors (documented in section 3), abuse of capitalization (section 4), and the general crimes against grammar and syntax (sections 7-8), I have demonstrated that, beneath it all, the work betrays the authors staggering ignorance of the history and the workings of our progressive league system. While the author's wildly swerving train of thought did at one point flirt with coherence, this brief encounter was more likely a chance event (see statistical analysis in table 5) than a result of even rudimentary lucidity.

P.S. Don't forget to check out the next season of The Sarah Connor Chronicles this fall on Fox!

P.P.S. I can kill you with my brain.

[with apologies to Randall Munroe for massacring his work in this semi-tongue in cheek response to such a ridiculous topic of debate.]

FOR HELL (Danish swear words are a bit lacking), the commissioner has already weighed in on this (though I think he needs to reconsider on Wynn), drop it already msl and crack(whatever)!

OuR progressive league system!!!!! Who died and you boss. I guess I am not worthy of paying for the privilege to participate in YOUR WIS LEAGUES. Therefore, I humbly submit my resignation from this league and all other leagues as I clearly cannot compete with your supreme eminence. I am sure Fox would appreciate an e-mail informing them of your hostile takeover. Thank you for allowing me to be in your presence even if it was only thru this sites mail process. Good luck to all.You will need it, and to think this was over a player that won’t even participate in the initial season.
