Rod Is God?
It was simple, yet extraordinarily effective: In Rod We Trust. A motto for a web site? No, so much more than just an ordinary motto. A credo for Netsfans to live by. We're thinking, though, that a new season deserves a new slogan. Do you have it in you, Netsfans? Email Joe (joe@joenetsfan.com) and give us your best ideas at capturing what it is you think we should use as our new tagline for the site.

An incredible amount of slogans have been emailed to Joe. Many thanks to everyone who participated. Now, for the hard part - see anything you like better than "In Rod We Trust"? If so, drop Joe a line.

Here is everything that has been submitted (in no order whatsover):
