Smitty,
I was not really trying to convince you of anything. If in your second year you feel there is nothing wrong with that, then there is nothing wrong with it. I am sure there is someone that feels the way I do in your area and those are the people you will have to contend with, not me. Just keep in mind you will be judged by many things that are off the court as well as those things that you do on it.
Good discussion.
