Subdude: Great luck on the ACL. Had mine about 8 years ago. No probs. Just stretch, stay active, do your rehab religiously and you'll be fine. Also, be patient. The thing really takes about a year and a half to two to feel really solid, but its worth the wait. Oh, please tell Paul Kocin to CLEAR HIS FREAKIN THROAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
