Message: [QUOTE="bballbeadle, post: 889308, member: 548"] This was an interesting reaction! Most people who responded apparently love to clap until the first basket and cannot be stopped no matter where they are. But the reason I brought it up is because other people find it tedious, even people on this board. CTO - I agree with your answer that probably if "someone" tried to stop it, people would want to do it more than ever in defiance. Kind of along the lines of "This is a sucky tradition but by god, it's OUR tradition!" (Get your government hands off my Medicare!) I have a hard time imagining what we would do in its place. It does seem there would be a vacuum and vacuums need to be filled. I've got a feeling that in 100 years, people will still be standing and clapping. [/QUOTE]
