I now have him on ignore, read my last posts to CJ and his mouthpiece.

I am wondering if I was the cause of it?

Of course it gives him the last word in the thread until it is unlocked. That should play well with his OCD.

Tony, btw -- I just noticed Mr. OCD's "Pendulum stroke sweet spot" thread is now closed. Looks like it caught the eye of some mods and they're hot on his trail. I don't wish bad for him, but man, the OCD meddling has to STOP! I've never seen anyone so lockjaw-fixated on such a known industry-standard "basic best-practice" foundational methodology. It's like he think's he's personally responsible for "taking it down," like he's some sort of Che Guevara pool rebel or something.

No problem, my friend. I would hate to see you let him prevent you from posting in the instructor forum. That would be a shame -- like not being allowed access to your "office" because there's a fly buzzing around. Just swat the fly -- put him on your Ignore List. Trust me, when his OCD rants aren't "in your face" out in the open, you won't be exposed to them, and you'll be able to relax. Also, if you do this, DON'T cheat -- don't click the "View Post" feature when you see his collapsed posts. Doing so voids the "sanity" warranty!

Hey Tony, your pm box is full. could you clear out an old message to make room for one more?

yup the coke bottle glasses and shaky hands are no good. Grab a 17-20 year old kid that can play, i mean a real player who knows what to do and let him rack, he would have perfect racks fast. The old guys dont see the balls come apart when they lift the rack off-thats what I noticed is the biggest issue. its just a better solution to the problem, not a knock on them, hell i'm 43 and Its harder for me to rack than it used to be. gotta keep it real, best eric

Thanks for the offer. I live in Frederick, so it may be too far to meet. Next year my work is moving from DC to the National Harbor. I could meet you somewhere then. WW

Sorry Cookie I am in Solomons Isl. MD

There is no scam here. Please check the pm for more details.

Just before the open he was in Jersey fixing 18 GC with broken rail bolts. I suspect I will hear from him in a week or two.

Heard from Glen yet. I'm waiting too, I live in Perry Hall, How about you.

No waiting for him to swing down to MD.

Has Glen set up your table yet?
