While I'm in a "gitty up" mood , another chap on that other board is "interesting".

• I loved every issue of the Follow Up. I liked all the editors.
• Dick Schmidt gave it a good flavor and variety. In my humble opinion, it's open what can and can't be forgiven of any transgressions , percieved or real.
• But one thing that can't be forgiven : Some of the summitted writings of Jim "The Hat" Bradshaw that was never published in the Follow Up while Dick Schmidt was editor. Now THAT is unforgivable.
• Arguably, one of the Top handicapper and winner of the 20th and 21st , and you don't publish his stuff ???

• I guess if the legendary Pittsburg Phil summitted articles to the FollowUp, and the editor either, disagreed, could'nt comprehend, or some other self directed judgement that some of his work is "un-worthy" of publishing, I suppose "The Maxims of Pittsburg Phil " would be , at best, a 2-page book.
• Reading some of his post, and listening to him on tape, he is pretty good and entertaining and inspirational: but when he "joke's" about "his" contributions ; whether teaching, input into handicapping ,brilliant statements or points made and personal success; NOT that he should'nt be proud of what he's achieved , I can attest to that, he DOES and CAN bring good stuff. I'm seriously thinking , maybe, he's NOT joking, that he's murderously dead serious. Time , success and age can "feed" the monster within us all. VoodooFan
