Maybe, but the same sorts of "facts" apply equally to Dalecki.

Just to get the generalization right. People who associate golf with alcohol
are alcoholics.

I supopose you are right, but to me, Dalecki came in here as a newbie
clubmaker claiming to know all about clubmaking. Didn't really bug me at
all until he started telling me what I am supposed to think about
clubmaking. Not to say that I am any better than Baker in not letting it
go, and I am my own worst enemy in the way I'll beat the dead horse till
there is nothing left and beyond...but still it took 2 to keep it
going...so I see the Baker/Larry; Me/ Dalecki comparison is valid.

IMHO, the whole newsgroup thing is dying. It was fun for a while, but
people get tired of it and move on to other things. Facebook and things
like that are the big thing now. Nice thing about them is you can set up a
group of people you like independent of the main board.

I'll pollute less if you do, Chris.
