Teacherman,

As you know, some of us have been on both sides of the fence and made our choice. Paul is the one who made a big deal out of our posting anything meaningful on this site. He is also the one who came here and made the offer. I think the reception has been reasonably cordial. Sometimes no comment is the best comment. It is naïve to think Paul would be welcome with open arms. A few people who had a problem took exception, Paul responded and they defended their position. That would have been the end of it had you not started name calling. The most important response came from Jack who thought it was a great idea. Hard to believe Paul would be chased away but if he is, we’ll be just fine. Nick

> > As a matter of fact I am not in his good graces and do not have access to his forum anymore. Does that change the fact that he has THE premier mind in baseball? Does it change the fact that the best information on the net is on his forum? Does that mean Jack is not good? No, no, and no. Just means those that haven't had contact with him don't know all that they could.

And those potty mouthing him would be stunned by the depth of his knowledge, the depth of his understanding, and the lengths that he goes to to prove his points. Then again, most here won't put in the time to read and comprehend his explanations. Mainly because all they want to hear is the company line.......Even if it is proven wrong.

> Teacherman, you have every right to worship Nyman. If you think that someone who has never even played the game is the "premier mind" of baseball, that is your right. And if jack is gracious enough to allow a competitor to invade his website, that is Jack's right. What YOU have to understand, though is that it is OUR right to place little if any value in what either you or Nyman says. And from what I can see, people have been exercising that right. Now I am a polite person, so please don't take this the wrong way, but may I suggest that you might feel more comfortable at Nyman's site or perhaps at eteamz.com?

Included in your right to place little value on Mr. Nyman and what he says is your right to remain "uninformed" at worst or "almost informed" at best.

Don't let me interfere with your pursuit of mediocrity.
