Ray,

Thank you for the kind words.

You may have noticed I am a little verbose? (LOL) I'm not sure I can answer "are you hungry?" with a one word answer (although "yes" IS always the answer).

Dialog is good. Putting constraints on it would seem to me to have no point other than word play / cleverness. Basically trying to set the other guy up with a well crafted question. I'm not well suited to that kind of thing, I'm afraid. And frankly, I would concede in advance. My knowledge level is not as high as others, and I think that would be revealed pretty quickly.

I DO wish there was a mechanism - somewhere - for a respectful centralized exchange of ideas among some of the real hitting experts. THAT I would read religiously.

Regards,

Scott

SSarge,

In the interests of gaining insight into one's self and each other, and our beliefs and our perception of other's beliefs concerning baseball hitting (nothing of a personal nature regarding anyone but ourselves), I propose a question and answer dialogue.
