People are beginning to panic...

Well, I guess there is also a third option, I could spend time with my wife.

I wish spending time with my wife was an option.

You can always spend time with her the week after Madden 10 launches! Depending on how things go... Maybe hire some armed bodyguards just to be on the safe side.

So there is only two options...

I don't think there's any panic... i think alot of people seem to be creating threads in hope that they land on a subject that other users and the M10 devs might be interested in talking about in order to boost their OS rating. More often than not in recent weeks i've seen one user create 3/4 threads a day, all often regugitating another thread all ready in existence, then the next day a different user will do the same. Now it's turning into a race to see who can post the easportsblog in the forum first... we all used to wait patienty for ian to post it but not anymore... i get the feeling people are waiting on the easportsbog and on OS and just hitting F5 until they can announce that the blog is up.
Everyone seems to be losing the point that the interaction between us and the devs is supposed to help make the game better, not inflate our egos...too many people are creating threads in an attempt to inflate their ego and when other users/devs don't respond to said thread, the op seems to take it personally (on one occasion recently a user created a thread complaining that the devs aren't responding to his threads!?!?!? sounds like my girlfriend when im trying to watch the vikes on sundays!!!!).

Creating threads seems to be addictive to some users... and the more they create, the more inane the threads become.

Gotta be the wife. Does she play Madden though?

Be funny as hell if she gave you a hard time over OL/DL interaction!
