Bladerunner, Trotman,

I salute the 'class' both of you show here and thank you each for your contributions to our community! It is far easier to see people with whom we disagree as the 'other' than to see them as human beings, likely with strong views, with personal histories, desires, weaknesses, etc. Yet in this case, also with great passion for our game and affection and respect for our mentors.

I have learned a lot from each of you over the years. Raman (Bladerunner), you told me several years ago of your own and your father's history with the game, and how you have striven to perfect your craft and make him proud. And trotman has been to my home, and I to his, he has bought me lunch and showed me how he wins at a day well spent at Woodbine together: I have no reason to distrust what he says and I call his mentors my mentors also - he is a good guy, though indeed one with strong opinions (and some of them different from my own!)

Let us carry on!

For the record, I have no intention whatsoever of removing NewPace from RDSS, indeed I will eventually update it. There are more ways than you know that people have adapted these ideas to their own methods, mixed them with other ideas inherited from Howard Sartin's time, and made them something new. I dare say some of the ideas would surprise even Dave Schwartz!

So NewPace stays, and like all the other existing components and components yet to come, each person is free (even bound) to make it their own, to use those they understand or which match their individual style, or which simply generate a proven return with an acceptable amount of effort - and to set aside the others (perhaps for a future day).

Again thank you Raman for your comments, and Trotman for your response!

Ted
