Hi Jack,

I also want to make note that all the people who visit your site should ask questions, instead of thinking they invented baseball. Jack is pretty fair with most posts, but I have to tell you BHL, you are nothing but a mouthpiece for Epstein. I personally do not know him and do not discount how much he cares or tries to help kids. Regardless, I do have this to say and read this carefully, Jack is 100% right when it comes to how to get the bat through the zone. I do not Just because you are able to articulate and type well, does not make you an expert or lend validity to your opinions. Although, I do think you long worded answers expose how well you type.

> Who is "the windbag?" I have to type rapidly before being knocked off-line, so please allows for the syntax errors. Let's see, BHL...poet, and an individual who received requests from The New Yorker, Yankee Magazine, Esquire, Shakespeare Quarterly, Scientific American, The Wall Street Journal, and Reader's Digest (might I add The New York Times!) to write articles in the future. I have a tremendous ability in the writing field, and am not afraid to display my talent!

> Picking the right lexical terms over cliches make writers memorable. People laughed at Robert Frost, John Steinbeck, and Walter Knronkite. Where are they now? They are immortalized by the literary community. The word "professional" means nothing except that you have to fill out a W2 form. People do remember popular novelists such as Steven King, but only for mass-production, rather than their intrinsic look at a certain topic / topics.

under grc, then bart and then back to grc i have seen posts from bhl (Black Hole Lexciographer) for about the last five years...we have both posted at this site, setpro and hitting.com....it is totally unfair for anyone who does not know BHL to make these personal attacks................JACK: we ahave been through a lot of posts together, and you & BHL go back even farther.....I call upon you to stand behind BHL at this time...you know him quite well, and just so people don't get an unfair impression of him, will you please set the record straight as to your regard for BHL? Thank you, grc
