I have asked Thorsten to particpate in the straight pool forum in the past, and he has yet to participate, but I know he has at least looked at it. I will ask him again when I see him at the event in Jacksonville next week, but I don't believe he will particpate in the forums. Toastie checks his messages at myspace a few times a day - that is the best place to get in touch with him unless you have his cell number.
Many have PM'd me and asked me about what i meant by my last post. A while back there were some ugly comments made in this forum about Charlie Williams and Thorsten was outraged, and at the time I couldn't have agreed more with him. It's sad that people don't understand the close bond between players and how you become family to each other. Thorsten and Charlie are as close as family, as close as brothers, and that is why Thorsten was disgusted with the comments that were made. Hopefully Thorsten will come back to the forums when the proper respect is given to the best players in the world.
