I don't think he likes me much. One time on SI he posted one of his incomprehensible charts -- I'm sure you've seen them, they have so many "trend lines" on them it looks like somebody was just trying to connect every point with every other point. Well, I was in one of my playful moods that day, so I made a comment along the lines of, "Gee Vitas, that chart would be better if it had a few trenlines on it."
I don't remember his exact response, but he doesn't seem to have much of a sense of humor.
And what is his OBSESSION with that stupid 1% UDV thingie? You'd think he'd found the Holy-Farking-Grail or something... Sheesh!
