i don't mean to sound contrary but aren't we here to evaluate the runs? nothing is gained from "good run". everybody knows that a 100 ball run is a good run.
i went out of my way to watch and evaluate marop's play and wanted to get inside his brain on some shot selection but i got no response. i did the same with Straightman's vid but, nothing.
i'd really like to hear some of the pros dissect the vids as i do so that we can all learn and become better 14.1 players. pats on the back do nothing to improve our game.

I am right with you on that one...
I actually disagree with both of you on this. A "forum" is a place to come and share information about a common interest. There are no expectations. If Bill, or any other poster, wants to share a video of a run, then they have the right to do so. There is no "rule" stating that an in-depth analysis must be made of every video posted (unless it was requested by the OP).
Some people just want to share this information. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that and they should not be obligated to post a video for the pure purpose of having it analyzed to death (unless they that is what they want). Maybe Bill was just proud of this run and wanted to share it with his AZ family... nothing more... nothing less. If another poster poses a questions to the OP who posed the video, then common courtesy would be for the OP to respond. But it is not required. We should be happy that Bill (and many others) choose to share this information at all.
I think your post comes across very crass and pushy. I've also found many of sascha's posts the same to the point of bordering on rude (although I'm not sure if there is a cultural/language issue with sascha). I know this post may seem like I'm mad or angry, but I'm just frustrated with the perceived "expectation" of a few posters.
Everyone who comes on here (from beginners to pros) loves the game of 14.1. Being pushy with expectations is just going to drive people away or make them afraid to post their own videos for fear of being "over-analyzed"... often times when they didn't even ask.
I guess all I'm saying is please be considerate when commenting on other people's videos. Being able to watch other's videos is a privilege, not a right.
JMHO - take it for what it's worth.

P.S. - BTW, nice run Bill.
