A word to the wise guys

[JimS]

I knaow you are with TAR and I think you are doing great things for our sport. I value you're critique. I guess I am just a frustrated old f--t who
gets tired of going through a dozen posts to find one that makes sense.
I guess I'll just have to learn to live with it. Thanks for your input.

It won't take long for you to learn the names of those whose bids you want to read. It can be a pain but to me it's worth it to interact with the quality people I've found here.... and there are a lot of them.

And.... welcome to az!!!

You always say what you mean and that is a trait to be admired.

Now....somebody call somebody else a poopy head or something....we are making far too much sense in this thread.

Poopy Head!

[easy-e]

[JCIN]

[easy-e]

I do what I can for the greater good.

SJD - A One Pocket Legend

The knowledgable people can't get a word in edgewise. Thats why most have given up on this site.
Why can't the younger crowd learn to benefit from the experience the older guys have to offer. I guess its the same generation gap we have to deal with, with our teen age kids. Stop posting inane comments just for the sake of expressing your opinion if you don't know a thing about the subject at hand.

Sports Fans - SJD knows of what he speaks. He is one of the finest One Pocket players that ever played the game. He's quoted and referenced in both Winning One Pocket and Shots, Moves and Strategies and there's at least 1 Accustats match where he manages to defeat a very,very well known One Pocket player.

Listen and believe what SJD has to say, you can't go wrong.

I have been checking out the postings on azbilliards for quite some time now. I have come to the conclusion that most of the participants in any given thread do not have a clue as to what they're talking about.
Most are either novices or wannabes.The knowledgable people can't get a word in edgewise. Thats why most have given up on this site.
Why can't the younger crowd learn to benefit from the experience the older guys have to offer. I guess its the same generation gap we have to deal with, with our teen age kids. Stop posting inane comments just for the sake of expressing your opinion if you don't know a thing about the subject at hand. It will make for a much more ejoyable experience for all.

Which cue plays the best?

I agree

I think that if you make a serious and considered post, then you will most likely get mostly serious and considered responses.

The other thing to consider, (and this is really an important point), is that this is not like a conversation that can be dominated so that others can't get a word in...just skip over posts that you don't want to read...and even just ignore people you don't want to hear from anyway based on the way that they post...(i.e. you just need to filter posts and threads to get the info YOU want)....

Point well taken, in my youthful exuberance I let myself become frustrated
for no reason. I need to learn to be more tolerant or else I will just go postal (joking of course) or maybe not !!!!!
Love, Dick

response

Maybe it's because I am young... but I am a little insulted by this. But if that's the way it has to be around here, please do tell what the cutoff age is from "younger crowd" to "older guys", so that us young folk can sit quietly in the corner and be seen and not heard...

Granted, younger people can learn a lot from listening to the experiences told by those who have traveled those roads before... but it is very small minded to think that learning can't happen the other way around too. The older, more experienced people on this forum aren't too full of knowledge to learn something from someone younger.

I'll take it one step further and say I don't believe there is any reason to make a distinction. Let's just all post and learn from each other. But that's probably just my naive 26 year old brain talking...

I admire you for making your point. It was not my intention to insult anyone. I guess maybe I have too many miles on the odometer to be cognisant of the fact that I may step on some toes. Your post tells me that you are NOT one of the ones I was refering to. Peace brother !

You beat me to it....I was going to post this same thing, since I also saw SJD play one pocket back in the 70's.

Jim, I am in total agreement, I've just never been good at "interacting"
I guess I'll learn to keep my big pie hole shut and listen to my elders.
Thanks for the welcome-my first thread and I'm in deep s--t allready.

SJD-One Of The Best

Ghost-It takes a either a somewhat middle to late middle aged guy LOL, or a wannabe student of the game to know or know of this guy and appreciate how good he can play.

Get a copy of that Accustats tape, it does the heart good to see him outmove the young gun he was playing.

PM me and I'll let you know which tape it is, I think its out of print with Accustats.

Regards---

Fighting words!!!!!

Damn kids....always making sense at the wrong time.

You too have a good point, the juvenile posting of some is certainly not related to actual age. After you have been here awhile you get a feel for what certain posters will do in a given situation....you know the ones who will be reactionary, or inflammatory, or asinine, or even sometimes reasonable. For the most part age has very little to do with it. I would be willing to wager a small sum that if the OP picked out his top 10 posters that he feels are juvenile that their ages would surprise him. I have noticed that some of the most ridiculous stuff comes from a few of our more, shall we say, elder members (relative to me anyway....I am but a pup)

That said....you young whippersnappers need to respect your elders...

(That is twice this week I have got to say whippersnapper....sweet.)

If you call me a young whippersnapper one more time, we are going to have to fight. You are the small guy in your logo,right? If not please disregard.

It's all good! I look forward to all the words of wisdom everyone is so confident you will provide on here. (but for future reference, I'm a chick... )

Ok, that's pretty funny. I'm pretty sure he's the one doing the mauling though.

Finally, a chance to meet someone of the opposite gender. I am 6'2'
28 years old, tall dark and handsome. Will you marry me????
