Are you seriously suggesting that there are not as many "good" players on the west coast as there are in the midwest?

The mark was posted with no arrogant intent, it is simple true. If you want me to show you I will do so.

Aside from "good" being subjective, it is worth noting that no more than a handful of west coast players have attended Nats.  You've never even heard of, much less played, most of the players in our region.  Come out here and sweep Nats, then you can say you've shown me.

How could you possibly know how many people will attend a west coast Natz, especially since one has never been attempted?

Perhaps one has never been attempted for this very reason.

And perhaps turtles can eat pineapple.  Wild and unsubstantiated guesses are not needed.  And considering the 2008 Southwest regionals was held in the Los Angeles are and tied for the highest attendance when Bryon polled the hosts, there is a theoretical attendance increase that can happen this year.

Apart from how much support they may be able to drum up on their own, there are plenty of non-whining players from across the country who will make the trip anyway.

I love how you automatically assume I am whining.  Plenty yes, but not as many as if it were somewhere else.

I'm not entirely sure of this.  Quite a few people are going to try and make the trip.  Besides, pretty much the entire west coast will attend, as there is probably not going to be another shot of them attending a Nats for another 10 years.

Thanks for hearing me out Mrs Urban.

Someone will have to fill me in on the context of that "joke" since I am not familiar with Mrs. Urban.

The only place I've heard it is connected with one of the first online collaborative efforts.  Doubt it's connected.

That's because north central was missing about 1/3 of it's people due to various conflicts

Since neither of you are going to be at Nationals, what is all the fuss about?

Im guessing that it is the fact that neither of them are going to Nats   

a couple of other things.  for those who dont know how to "quote" someone.  I'm gonna learn ya to quote because tryignto read  your posts w/o quotes is driving me crazy! 

The first and easiest way to quote someone is to go to their post and hit the "quote" button above and to the far right of their post.  I know..it sounds crazy but it does work.

The second way to quote someone is to hit reply to a message and then scroll down in the previous posts on the topic summary to the post you want and hit "insert quote".  You can quote several different people this way by just hitting the insert quote button above the proper posts.

Third you can simply surround the phrase you want to quote in "quote brackets"  by typing this... [.quote.]insert phrase here[.quote.]  I have added periods before  and after the word quote so y ou can see how it is done.  for this way to work you have to remove those periods or it wont work.

Play around with it to get reall good at it and before long you will be quoteing like the schaef in no time.

Nothing you have said is worth replying to anyway.

It isn't worth thehobbit's time to respond to that rude comment.

I think you misunderstood my comment. Of course, I may have used a poor word choice with "worth." Perhaps "warrants a response" would have been better. He said he was going to be gone for 4 days and I was letting him know that there would not be a reponse that he would have to worry about.

However, I agree that my post does not "warrant a response" either. I have said all that I will say, at the request of a west-coaster.
