You guys need to chill. As I stated in my SECOND post..... I do not have emoticons to set the tone of my posts. My original post was directed at you Yankee Jim, yes... but was made in jest. You have helped me here in the past, and I appreciate it. My observations are my observations....... Great players with great averages can comfortably sit back and tell the struggling new guys to "slow down", and "not worry about averages". These great players know damn well that when you are new, the one thing that concerns you the most is your average. It's kind of like a hazing thing, or a priveledge you Veterans of this game enjoy. I am not here to cause trouble, and this is a message board. I cannot see you or speak to you. Inflection, body-language, etc goes a long way when speaking in the real world. Typing on a keyboard offers neither.
For the record...... I don't match-play or enter Ready-go's. I compete against myself, and you are damn right I am obsessed with my average. It's the only measure of ability I have in this game.
Also....Snaike sent me smiley info, so this may not happen again in the future.
