I hate kids so don't ask me for money because you got in trouble...I thought you were talking about half my mental age, which I have been known to act on occasion. ;)

Earl Strickland's Info (transcribed by JAM)

FORUM NAME: "Earl Strickland"

LOCATION: "Hendersonville, but practices pool in Greenville, South Carolina, at Gametime"

AGE: "43"

HOURS OF PLAY PER WEEK: "Practices about 30 hours a week."

I am providing Earl's info sent via e-mail to JAM. If y'all were a little more selective with your words and blessed opinions, maybe Earl would post. He's been an AzBilliards Discussion Forum member for quite some time and has posted in the past.

I am looking forward to seeing the demographics. It is interesting that this survey has received 80 responses and 1,100 hits on the thread in 1 day. Hopefully, within the 30-day time period, others will respond.

LOL. Actually, since so much time has passed, I think Earl may need a computer cookie to log-in, but I'd venture a guess and say it's going to take a little more than cookies to get The Pearl to start posting now. Who can blame him!?

Dunno, I wasn't on here back then. I guess there were some "less than polite" things said.... This is the internet. Bad things are said. From what I have seen, there are more polite people on this site than most others. Some people just don't have thick skin and take everything said to heart.

That would be nice and I'd love to see it. Unfortunately Earl's antics in matches draw a lot of criticism and that isn't going to stop anytime soon. Personally, I just take it as part of the package; the same thing that makes him a little, shall we say, testy at times makes him a great player.

You're going to have to give up your day job to analyze all this data. It reminds me of a project I worked on in grad school trying to breed a hyperactive dog, they wound up with a room full of data and when I left it still hadn't been analyzed.

During my college days I had to do a research project for an upper level Soc class. While yes, gathering the data was time consuming, the analysis was quite easy thanx to computer software...it spit out the mean, median, averages..Etc... You just had to match the numbers up to determine if you hypothesis was proved or not. IMO, the part that may take JAM some time is the locations and age..depending on how broad she makes these categories and what her sample size will be. JAM...I hope you have some software to help you out. :D
