I am really trying to understand what this post means.

First of all, if you're not interested why do you take the time to inform everyone about it?

Second, why would the number of starts play into your decision to be interested or not? If he had started 40 times would you have had more interest?

Finally, you list the fact that he spent the last 8 months of his life fighting a losing battle as another reason for your disinterest. Are you disinterested because you feel he is a loser? Would you have been interested if he were still holding on to life?
