ok, first i would like to say that it takes guts to develop a theory and put it out there for everyone to see.

What should we be paying you for? I did not get one useful tip or bit of useful information or technique or how to or anything. Quit teasing us and tell us how to do it the right way. What happened to the "stuff" on timing. Tell us your secrets. I do not mind paying for anything worthwhile, give us something of substance "Hank King" or should I call you "Mr. King" or just "King" or "Mr. K" or "K" -- K is not a good letter if you are a hitter.
