I bear no ill will towards folk who spend gobs of cash...none. Some of them are cool people who I've had very positive interactions with. Some are also possessed of the feeling that spending large amounts somehow equates with knowledge of baseball, and unabashedly advertise themselves as fonts of wisdom. TRIGGER WARNING: They aren't.

My point was not to belittle them en masse, but to point out in a slightly kinder way that anyone can open up a wallet and win, regardless of their intellectual makeup. Those who don't lay out bundles of money are forced to utilize every bit of their wits to succeed. They don't have that fallback option. Money can become a crutch, substituting for hard work and knowledge. That's not always the case, but like many habits it can become a siren song.

You're welcome to debate further with me, Orcin. I've a rustic cabin near Benzonia. We could grill brats and drink beer and talk baseball...because you weren't my target. You actually have good knowledge of the game. Don't take things so personally...it makes one drab and dour, and you seem an interesting person who I'd rather not alienate.

Lol this is perfect I’m actually in awe of you intellectic just simply amazing
