Robin, I agree. We all have our little ways of contributing, which may not be at the same level as others, but it is what we [can] offer. For others to adopt a haughty "holier than thou" attitude just doesn't cut it.
Paul seems to think I'm just yet another do-nothing yackety yacker that frequents here. The innuendo drips in buckets. But he couldn't be more wrong -- not just with me, but many other people that post here, that don't feel the need to brag or thump the chest. Granted, I don't own a poolroom, but I *have* run very large league systems (e.g. the Boston Billiards' league system for many years, and chaired the committee that oversaw the administration and effected the rules system); I *do* contribute both time and non-trivial sponsorship money to events (e.g. the 14.1 Challenge event at Super Billiards expo four years running, which I help sponsor and man the booth during the entire four days); and you see me often giving significant funds to charity events (e.g. helping outfit a partially-paralyzed veteran with pool gear -- which took place here on AZB); and many other things that it's safe to say are numerous enough not to have to list here to make the point. The point is, I'm certainly not a "do-nothing yackety-yacker" as Paul's innuendos imply.
Let's all do our part -- no matter how small -- and put our haughty attitudes away. We *all* make a difference. And yes, the discussions that happen here do have an effect.
