  I appreciate that, and I look forward to seeing him utilizing his academic background as he begins to support his statistical contentions.

And maybe next time you can question him about it, directly, on the board where he posts.

It sounds to me as if he ought to be doing half his posting here, but I\'ll tell you what: As a tribute to the Cmdiri method, I\'ll question him in private email, and then I\'ll have friends of mine post only the good stuff on the Rags board.

All kidding aside, I\'ll be happy to question him on the Rags board, but I would appreciate it if you would help him write his replies. Fair enough?

OK, as soon as I get the decoder ring.  Based on previous experience, probably the best I can offer is to jump into the thread.  If it\'s a technical discussion of his pace/energy methodology, I haven\'t passed the competency test, yet.  At some point, management over there may want to pull the plug if the discussion strays too far from their own product.  Which may also be the case here, pretty soon.

TGJB: Actually, this string made me a little nostalgic...as long as the tone remains where it is. Curtis, keep it like this and the board will be a better place.

Ralph Kiner\'s line about stats is still the best: they\'re like bikinis. Show a lot, but not everything.

smalltimer: What they reveal is suggestive, what they conceal is vital.

I think I\'ll feed that one to my friend.  I can\'t wait to see how it gets played.
