Bucket,

I tend to agree with you (further evidence of my descent into the abyss!) But you know as well as I do...heck you know even better than me that the process of "decoding, deciphering, hand wringing, hair pulling, wailing and gnashing (pronounced with an unsilent g) of ivories is one of Homer Kelley's enduring contributions. You are top 1% in terms of knowledge... few have turned over more yella rocks than you have. HK has reordered a neural pathway...or two...don't ya think? In addition to more information than any one person can use in a golfing lifetime, there are some very pertinent philosophical applications to be enjoyed from the book. Mr. Kelley may not have been an engineer in the educational sense...a classic case of not being educated into embicility. I love to be around thinkers...even if it is interacting with the written words they left us. It is a thinking person's book, and may never enjoy the public acclaim it richly deserves, although I think certain stroke patterns will see the light of day. The hardest work is REAL thought. You gotta wrastle with it. Personally, Bucket, I am glad you started wrastling with it before I did. Of course, we are all thankful for Yoda taxing his neural pathways. I hope not too many cells fell by the wayside

Props for Hjacknicklaus...a true gentleman!
