I would gladly defend both you and churak, but if it requires reading even dozens, much less hundereds, of posts, I am likely to be ill prepared.
Funny that you mentioned Dickie Thon -- I uttered his name (for the first time in years) after popping up a drive on Sunday; it was short, shallow, high, and just sightly pulled. If he missed it, Biggio would have had it a couple years ago or Doug Raider many years ago.
$20 on the street corner may be more fun than being defended.
