To my good friend, AB Middler: I have said some of this before, but I will say it here anyway, and it might turn out to be a long post. Not so long by your standards, maybe, but long by my own.
There's quite a bunch of us out here seriously interested in learning to play one-pocket better. We have Freddy's DVDs and Grady's and Billy I's, but today you have referred us to go to the high-powered shooters. Well, there are none around here. I have checked three times this week, and found none at all. A few guys who shoot pretty straight, but none qualified to teach us what we need to know.
You are a valued poster on this site, for many reasons, but you have chased away some readers by the length of your posts, which are four times as long as anyone else's. Many words to make your point in multiple different forms, and mostly you advise us to try harder and behave better. In one-pocket, that only goes so far. You have gone to great lengths to remind us that you know how to play the game, but you seem reluctant to give up your goodies. We're all getting older - some of us a lot older - and that includes you. What will you accomplish by taking this stuff to your grave? On your stone they might engrave "This guy could have, if he had wanted, etc. . ."
Don't bother telling us again that we should learn the hard way, as you did.
We're doing it that way now. If there's a better way, either tell us about it or stick to telling us pool stories. Those are good, also.
Kindest regards,
Vapros
