Hey folks, I just want to add Tony Robles' NAPL to this list. As many of you know, Tony's wife Gail is a CPA, and I spoke to her about this thread. She wanted me to relay the following: So there you have it -- from a CPA (and a stellar one, too). -Sean

Old news Yup, this was already reported: http://forums.azbilliards.com/showthread.php?t=373253 ;) -Sean

Hmm... you ignored the first part completely. But your response to the second part doesn't surprise me. With your fixation on me, it sounds just like you.

Pidge: I'd shared my method of aiming long ago, in this thread (link and quote below). Although I share only one quoted post out of that thread, I encourage you to read the other posts around it (before and after it), to get an idea of how this all unfolded. Anyway, this is the aiming system...

I see. It was subtle, but I did catch it. A couple problems, though; I'm married for one, and two, you fouled-and-a-miss with your assertion about which bus I'm on or which end I bowl from. Did you ever consider my offer for a VIP membership to my fan club? You know, you should do something...

What the ...? -Sean <-- was expecting another poodle-bashing related to the knowledge of pinks and fuchsias. Or maybe I just got one and didn't even know it. ;)

I replied to this in the new thread I promised, "Proving CTE out, through math" thread, to keep Dr. Dave's thread on track. -Sean

By the way, folks, as an idea, let's take this discussion of math and CTE into its own thread, and leave Dr. Dave's thread alone. I'll do the honors of creating that new thread, and I welcome folks to continue the discussion there. Back to the intended original programming of Dr. Dave's HAPS...

Exhibit A of the "faith"-based approach. Pidge, I know you mean well, but your post is an example of why this animosity continues. Just trust that some people are sick and tired of "faith"-based anything, and want to see the inner workings. There's no harm or foul in that, and CTE proponents...

Not sure I agree with that, Stan. If I can "see" a perception, I, in theory, "should" be able to point a laser line down that perception. I am very interested to learn what those perceptions are, so I can show it, and show the angles to the pocket. I know you say you've been at this for...

Stan: The problem is that you are now riding in the wake left behind by those before you -- including Hal, as he was the first. I remember Hal's "come hither if you ever want to learn the secrets of the pro's abilities" posts that started all this. It's possible that in real life Hal is not...

When someone who is truly unbiased (like you two, StraightPoolIU and 336Robin), looking at this whole thing from the outside results in a serious head-scratching. I mean, aiming. Aiming(!). Why is this topic so impassioned? I can only offer two possible explanations: 1. The marketing of...

Yup, the whole topic of aiming is caustic. A lightning rod topic (I'm NOT sorry, Tim :) ). That's why this subforum was enaCTEd. -Sean

The design was cute, but the execution was inaccurate. ;) (Hint: look at the color of the top/small pocket, vs. her original drawing. That was supposed to be a darker fuchsia -- to match the top band on the lid -- not the light pink shown on the final case.) John, <tisk, tisk>, I'm surprised...

Stan, to be fair, while I never agree with mocking a technique if it has proven to be favored and popular amongst its practitioners, that's not what Dr. Dave was trying to do. He was trying to mock the MARKETING of said technique. What you read in the DAM intro paragraph were actual claims...

Nah, Bruce, it wouldn't make a difference. I said my piece, and my peace, for that matter. You recognize that when I do the "over and out" sign-off to a specific person's point, I really mean it. Yep, and if you watch this thread -- which is a shame it devolved into a CTE war thread, yet...

Hmm... it looks like each one of those bobbled (wiped their feet) before they fell in. Need a few tweaks on that aiming system. :p -Sean

Folks: You're all missing the point. Joey's been selected as a beta tester for a new pool aiming system product, and each one of those dots above is a successfully pocketed ball. If he'd missed, it'd look like this: ...x..x........x........x So that uninterrupted stream of dots above are...

One last time, since you seem hell-bent on "bantering" me about it. Yes, I have a poodle, that is a rescue from a shelter. If you knew anything about me, you'd know why. Hint: it has nothing at all to do with your implied "manliness" of a breed of dog. And finally, for supposed "levity...

Agreed. One pocket action on that table with an overly-defensive player (especially one that likes to play the wedge) makes it too easy to push the balls into a corner. And especially a corner that doesn't face the opponent's pocket. Heebie-jeebies just thinking about it.
