> Hey Tom,

I go to Hitting-Mechanics regularly and enjoy the discourse... unfortunately i've attempted twice to register and failed both times so i cannot put in my 2 cents over there.

I've noticed over the years that Paul has a tendency to insult people that choose to participate on his site. you for example were called a FOOL just recently... i admire your ability not to lower yourself to name calling and try to stay on topic.

It is my humble opinion that nothing would become of it if Jack headed over there. just as nothing became of it when Paul vallantly tried to get something going over here... he unfortunately lost controll when someone couldn't see what he sees. and he couldn't see what someone else sees. i call it persuasion by attempted intimidation...

I try to ignore Paul's rough side and gleen from his writings as much as i can... i'm rambling. bottom line not a good idea for Jack.

Tom thanks for all your imput. regards, Rich
