Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Hear Ye,
Since this forum is supposedly from where my 'vacation' originated, I just want to say HERE that I very much appreciate Mike Howerton allowing me back after about a 2 1/2 year absence.
Thanks Much, Mike.
As for the main subject matter of this sub forum, not much at all has changed in all of my 2 1/2 year absence. Nothing has been offered of any substance to support certain affirmations made about that main subject matter.
As always, science contradicts those certain affirmations.
It is rather sad that some simply can not face those scientific realities... for whatever reason(s).
I and others think that AZB should be a place where those who play the cue sports can come & get Truthful Information... or at least information that is not" known" to be scientifically false.
While I was gone, Poolology came out. If used in its basic raw form without rounding any of the numbers it seems to be the closest thing that could be to an "objective" system for aiming pool shots. However, since numbers are rounded for ease of use it TOO goes into the realm of subjective appraisals & applications. The thing is that when one knows in what direction the rounding was done, one can then shade to the opposite direction to perhaps offset such.
Anyway, I am glad to be back. I hope that as adults, civil & reasonable discussions can be had as that, I think, is the intent of discussion forums.
That being the case, I think that censorship of ANY kind is NOT a good idea. I know of no time when censorship or restriction of civil speech as resulted in anything that was truly good.
Best Wishes to ALL with Sincerity.
PS Mike, If I get too close to the deep end, please just call me back before I drown myself. I simply have an affinity for The Truth & do not like to see anyone being deceived by ANY means, whether by accident or intentionally.
PPS Mike, Perhaps you should get involved in the discussions. I think it would be a good thing & might be informative in both or many directions.
