Obliging your request to drop this off-topic discussion after this posting...
I have psychic abilities. I sense that Alan leads the pack of those vp "enthusiasts" who are unteachable, do not want to be taught, and will forever remain in a utopia of justifying their losses because of "recreational" type play.
