Marc,

I've been trying to go easy on you, and let you get out of here, but you're not smart enough to know it, or how your stuff plays. And now you are keeping me from my work, so you're getting me pissed.

1-- Notice I did not say any of those things you ascribed to me (destroyed, etc.) to Alydar. See if you can figure out why, since he is obviously disagreeing with me. Could it have something to do with him not shifting ground, re-casting my arguments, etc.?

2-- My question about users of the two products MIGHT have been a characterization IF I HAD ANSWERED IT. I stated what had taken place, and asked those reading to make their OWN characterizations. Get it?

3-- You also OF COURSE, BEING WHO YOU ARE, AND ARGUING THE WAY YOU DO, have re-cast my original statement in order to attack it. That statement was (roughly, from memory), "I don't characterize Ragozin players AS A MATTER OF COURSE". I said it in the context of why I was characterizing YOUR behavior, as I am in this post. Not ALL Ragozin players behave the way you do, as I believe I already said somewhere below on this board.

4-- Yeah, that's probably it-- if the sampling was bigger, it would become apparent that Ragozin players are as likely to ask hard questions of Friedman as both they and the TG players are of me. So when you, Patent, Plever, Litt, Soup, Jim, et al, are willing to grill me, but not Friedman, no one should draw any conclusions from it.
