I appreciate your good will.

I don't know if I am negative. I do insist on seeing the unanswered questions we face.

You know, a lot of this is about how individuals deal with the emotions of being fans. Some folks embrace optimism as a way of dealing with uncertainty. Others embrace negativity.

I try to see both. But I do not want to bet my passions on a perspective that ignores the downside of my team. I don't want to expect more than a cool assessment suggests to be likely. We all respond in light of our personalities.
