Actually I learned at the University of Chicago from Stanley Rosen, but it's the same deal.

It's true this isn't the most intellectual board in the world. Maybe I should leave you guys alone. The judge didn't leave the kid alone in Blood Meridian.

My deal is it's basketball, sports, or whatever. We're competing for who's best. I think I can write against anyone in the world. That's how I was trained to write at Texas.

Just wondering if we could stay on subject.“Writing against” is an interesting choice of words. Is that what we are doing here?

[harveycmd]

Not really. Words matter. When I wrote "against" I meant competition. I wake up thinking about that kind of stuff.

Feels a bit like hi jacking threads regardless of your acumen as a writer. How about that Declan Duru?

  Maybe initiate an open NBA discussion thread if that is what you are hot for? Nuff said on my part. I wish you well. Do as you may. No hard feelings… just a bit curious.

I understand. I'm not hot for anything. Sorry I bothered you.

Reminds of the Rangers v Cardinals World Series in 2011. Berkman hosed us.
