I have a agreement with InsidePool to make good on his promise of 2 years ago. They have been always a friend (strained at times and pressured to break) but always there to support. I apologize if my post of 2-26-06 was too strong, but our agreement was not finalized at that time and I was struggling to keep promises of my own. I also need to point out that without JR the party would have never been started or continued for all of us to enjoy and love. His support both of finances in the first 8 years and continued friendship within the sport and of the sport was and is greatly appreciated.
If we are going to make pool, our world number one, we need to fix the internal politics and get together and discuss how we can act as one entity. I understand that pool players have a stigma ( my father says pool is a sport full of sin) as a suggestion. I propose that we try to work together and stop bad mouthing and crawling down peoples back to hit them where it hurts. There are people in the world who are crooks and most of them are not pool players and we know that to be true. I don't have the answers and it seem that money always gets in the way or some person personal philosophy interfere with the general view, but if we step back we can do this or if some business does not come thru in the matter that is expected
I don't know if this can be started at the party or not. but the party was truly designed to be a networking event away from the expo floor. so let us lay down those sharp swords and move on unifying our thoughts of where we want to go with this sport that we love so much.
