I am sorry you are ill.
And I appreciate your taking time, especially in mentioning my business partners, JHChrist and THSpirit. I pay for Jerry's stuff. Not a lot, but in cash, and he gets enough credit.
I already said I agree with your overall assessment of MT vs turf in terms of the former being more easily reducible to "Figures", and it is in my self interest that no one believes in these numbers so this is the last shilling I am doing for Mr Brown, but I appreciated your post on Dreaming of An(n?)a, and others, and something in me wanted to say publicly that subjective/judgemental is really more than OK, not dismissible because you can't PROVE it, right this minute in the lab. The record here speaks for itself, as does yours, UNFORTUNATELY for me in the former case, as it really isn't my goal to evolve, winning being good enough for me. Be well, and thanks.
Loved the article from UK.
