Re: defending the buzz {part 2}

I wholeheartedly agree with Linda Coye's analysis of the octa's round in
 question (a rarity).  ALthough personally preoccupied at that time, I know
from talking to another jduge of the round (prof. Unger), that "it was an
excellent debate, just excellent."  Although he did mention that it was a
little blippy, he said nonetheless that as a debate, it was very good.  Now,
if a debate, even as fast as that one, can be both of quality argumentation and
 very fast, I think that meets the best of both worlds.  If at least 2 of the
 three judges liked the debate and the debaters could handle it, perhaps the
random audience member should reconsider the position of who the debate is for.
 I thinkits for the debaters first, the judges second, and then the random
 watcher.  I think its a 2-1 against Mr. Foti.    A CHud
