I admit to posting under the influence last night, but let me suggest that you lay off the alcohol, which is contraindicated with psychotropics. When you "responded" to my original post, the 1st sentence was along the lines that TG users have a hardon for Friedman. I don't, & I'm sure you understand that it doesn't really matter who holds the stake as long as we both agree. When your response to my suggestion to a real $$ contest the weekend after the Bel is that you weren't going to be around, I don't think it's entirely unreasonable to think that you were referring to something other than this Bd, which is why I tried to, & am still willing to, accomodate your schedule. I'm also willing to help with your airfare if that's the problem, even though mine will probably be higher.

Your posts imply that you are a Rags user & having looked at both for the Acorn, my thought was it would be a good anecdotal test of the products & our handicapping skills. Besides, if you were at Bel Fri trying to win some money, then you wouldn't be able to post & everyone else could enjoy some peace & quiet. In other words, I figured I could make some easy cash & perform the public service of shutting you up for a day at the same time. Too bad for everyone that it wasn't to be.
