Then Hal Houle should be the one getting the money from the DVD because by all accounts I've read on this thread, it's HIS "system".
Maniac
LOL. I know Hal well enough that Hal wouldn't want a dime from anyone and he SURELY wouldn't take a penny from Stan or Landon.
I guess if I went with your logic, if I wrote and published a book on all of my pool lessons (good and bad), and share this information with the world in book form and sold the book, I should look up all of the people who have helped me with my game and if I have some sales on the book, I should send them all a check. :grin::grin:
Hal Houle (last name "rhymes with pool") deserves a GREAT DEAL of credit and I think he will and does get his accolades from the people who know, like and respect him, not just for his ideas about CTE and other aiming systems but for the man who he is and was.
Hal has to be close to 90 years old and I'm honored to have known him even if it was just through lots of late night phone calls, when often, we talked very little about CTE.
I don't have any problem with the people who believe that CTE is "silly" or that it doesn't work or that it doesn't work the way they think it works.
I do have a problem with the attempt at humiliation of fellow posters in this forum. I do have a problem with the mean-spiritness of those who would attempt to ridicule a man who is old enough to be their grandfather or great-grandfather. I do have a problem with people making fun of another person's religious beliefs.
I've seen a change in the tone of some of the posts by GMT even if he still believes CTE is "silly". El Kabong has restrained his instrument of censure and that is a good thing too. It's not often that a single thread can generate this number of posts. Kudos to GMT for starting such a interesting thread. Except for a few exceptions and outbursts the thread has allowed members of both sides of the camp to share some civil perspectives.
Opposing views can be the seasoning for life and may even teach us some new things but they don't have to poison the very air we breathe.
It is up to each man to work out his own salvation.
In the meantime, I am off to hit some balls using CTE/ PRO ONE, CJ WILEY's aiming system, ghost ball, stick to ball, light aiming system, shadow system, contact point to contact point, put it in the hole and any other "dam" system I can think of. :grin:
