Bear,
You have this knack of incorrectly interpreting messages...

1) I never said (or implied) I'm 'glued to the "opinions" of CEDA
coaches'. All it takes for me to make my point, since I was talking
*humor*, not statisitical significance as you are, is a knowledge of
*some* coaches' opinions on the matter, which is easy to get during
off-rounds {;->.

2) I said the statement was tongue-in-cheek -- why in the name of hell
would you then assume I was speaking literally about NDT's
weakness/surrender???

3) I never had a problem with NDT. Where'd you get that one?

4) Never said anything was wrong with standardized time formats to go
along with
common topics. Just find the argument, 'They moved toward us there, so
lets move toward them here...' (presented as a pseudo-logical statement)
bizarre, to say the least (i.e. not a very good argument).

If anyone's making false assumptions, Bear......

-Randy
