You say that the first thing that needs to go is the greed and yet your signature contains a line from a movie that has a lot to do with greed, the Hustler. That seems hypocritical to me and lessens the value of your comments to me.RiverCity said:How was that out of line, because you have taken offense to it?
As I said earlier, nothing was directed at anyone in particular, just that it is an issue. It wasnt even directly aimed at the topic of SAM.
If you choose to turn a blind eye to the history of this game, meaning the greed involved. That is your business. I for one am tired of people milking the cow dry, and then complaining theres no more milk. I said the game is full of greedy people, and feel that is a true statement.
Greed has been the downfall of most of the mens professional organizations. Greed has been a large contributing factor in the publics image of hustlers and con men. Greed was what kept tips and "secret information" hidden for many years from new players..... So yes, the game has its share of greedy people.
Again, what I said about instuctors was not about being greedy money wise. It was about being greedy with information. Professional instruction is a needed learning tool, and you deserve to be paid for it. However, saying you have a holy grail of aiming system information..... but you have to take my class to learn it........ is not in the spirit of sharing information or growing the game.
If we want this game to grow...... first thing that needs to go is the greed. Second..... the egos.
Because I love the game, I love the sounds of the game, I love the feeling of the game.......... it means something to me.

You were out of line in the tone of your post, IMO, as I have yet (45 years) to come across any instructor in this game that didn't want to share information freely. Hustlers and gamblers, sure, but not instructors. Frankly, golf instructors are far tighter with their info.
If there was a Holy Grail aiming system, matches wouldn't have to be played because no one would ever miss. Fortunately, we're all human. And you still have to make the shot.
