The true facts have beed discussed ad nauseum and and continued interest is found primarily in those who enjoy whipping deceased equines.

I would guess that there are members of this forum now that weren't members during the time this was so heavily debated. If the topic bores you because you've heard it all before, perhaps it's time to afford others an opportunity to play around with the subject matter. You ain't the only one on the playground.

On the top bar of the page, click "User CP." You will see your profile. In the column on the left side of the screen, click "Edit Ignore List." Follow the instructions on that screen.

Tie that into proper tracking of pitches by the proper use of the eyes, and it does become of value to this forum.

Thanks for clarifying. That makes sense to me.

No, but I am, apparently, one of the vast majority with a brain.

I will agree with the moderator. The OP is crap.
