I kinda like the unrelated jibber jabber and if you pay attention, you may just find some related jibber jabber that may work for someone on the forum. Remember that you may speak your opinion of the so called jibber jabber, but don't paint everyone with a broad brush. I have been to some very serious forums and they don't seem to last very long, people lose interest without some entertainment. Now I have also been to some forums that provide much entertainment without any of the content that bucket and "o" provide. I personally think they are a very valuable asset to this forum. Please don't tell them I said that!!!
I personally love your posts with regard to TT. I love that you have generously provided materials from such a great teacher, but we should all be open to differing ideas and procedures without getting upset at another's views!!
1) I love the TT "bone of contention" it challenges what we think v. what we know.
2) A forum with no psychological air (humor) is generally short lived. Why? No one cares about it beyond what they can siphon from it. I have noticed a lot of lurkers on the member's list. My conscience forced me to post. My contributions are not sufficient payment (in a recognizable or desirable currency!)...but Yoda deserves that at the very least.
3) There is not such thing as sophisticated humor. I don't do vulgar...carte blanche for the rest. If it were say...me...posting one juvenile tirade after the next I would agree with you...but it is guys that have given us both a few laughs as well as a great deal of substance.
4) Ferreting through the junior high antics is a small price to pay, don't you think?
5) I do not have many faces to match to names, but I do have a few marginal personalities earmarked! We seldom learn from strangers. Relationship is the conduit of learning. I respect TT because he obviously understood that, as you well know.
6) I value Delaware Golf's contribution to this...the BEST site in golfdom.
DISCLAIMER: I have been advised from legal counsel and my cognitive therapist that reading Bucket and Mike O posts (the puerile variety) will detrimentally impact my intelligence quotient.
