now we need melvin ely just to compete this is fckn great lmao
Ok now they've beat em,..
Yep just those Portland Trailblazers with no Brandon Roy, no Greg Oden, no Rudy Fernandez and now no Joel Przybilla either. Where if you saw that game you saw one team with a superior core get beat by a roster full of reserves playing off of 2 remaining starters,...who knew huh?
Sure now there's going to be those claiming things like wait till a 36 year old Finley gets back. Or alleging it was Manu's fault, Parker's foul trouble or bad refs calls. While turning a blind eye to what just happened. Which was Duncan had a big time total floor game and had to play 40 minutes. But without interior support his production was negated by a 3rd tier Juan Howard making the difference and rendered Blair and McDyess, non factor useless,..Bonner is hurt again and Ratliff never got off the bench.
Keith Bogans played 18 { just under 2 quarters } scoreless minutes, Parker was dared on the perimeter and Manu took shots he was forced into. While in contrast Jerryd Bayless got every look he could have wanted.
But no way the Spurs lose that game with skills sets like Melvin Ely able to give them minutes playing alongside and or behind Duncan. As well as a Morris Almond's shooting ability to take more defense off Parker and take that pressure to assist score off Manu,..you can't start Mason because he doesn't play defense and he plays way smaller than 6'5".
George Hill was forced to fight for scoring looks with his minutes. Not because he can't play the PG but because nothing was established for him to play as a threat via this casts floor imbalance and the mechanical sets they ran.
now we need melvin ely just to compete this is fckn great lmao
I was going to leave this one alone, considering how absurd the OP is. But the bump has taken it too far. I didn't even see the response to my thread-fart until now. Usually when someone is acting like a real tool and making a total fool of himself, I strongly encourage those around me(fellow ST members) to look away, stop staring like it's someone with a cleft palate, stop replying into this knucklehead's traps.
But for those of you who are letting Poopstzar get under your skin, allow me to intervene.
Look at what this bag calls a good time: He replies to himself in his own thread. And when he replies this is what he calls an English sentence:
"Being such an overlooked board joke amidst your flatulence and being nothing but a melodious stench"
Guys, let this turd float his way down the sewer. He's worthless. Some non-Spurs fans at least have decent basketball minds. This guy cares more about practicing for crossword puzzles. He's not even funny.
He'll rag on you for your inferior English skills but when he's desperate he'll post to himself a bunch of your quotes and then just write ROFLMBFG(Rolling on the floor licking my boyfriend Gary) afterwards
This monger probably lost a bet in 2007 having to do with a playoff series between Cleveland and San Antonio and the wager was the loser would have to spend the next three years in basketball purgatory----before he meets his old college buddies for their bi-anal Sausage Fest he has to go troll the San Antonio message board and write as many re ed comments as he could think of that includes the list of 69 random words from the dictionary. If he doesn't make good on the wager when they 'meat' he gets spanked.
That's the only explanation that makes sense for this legitimate weirdo. It's either that or the local video store is all out of John Waters movies. WEIRDO. Let us stick to our conversations on BASKETBALL. SPURS BASKETBALL.
Please ignore this prick. You can count on him writing back to my post saying I'm an "ignorant inept unintelligible incestuous instigator"with some lame "Thou shalt not cross swords with the HoopsCzar. Everlasting nevertheless behold penultimate wisdom henceforth. Hitherto such unphallusness drivel not withstanding.......ROFLMBFG
So if you see HoopsCzar and feel the need to bust his cranberries please hold back from bumping his worthless threads. Instead, flood his PMbox with pictures like this:

Wow Czar, such big words, but such little brains. A real intellectual Carrot Top.
The spurs ills cannot be cured by picking up a couple of trinkets in order to throw a patch over the underlying problem you quivering dildo. Marvin Ely and Morris Almond will both share a courtside seat to watch the spurs epic failures. They bring nothing more than a smile and a water bottle. The spurs need to come together as a team without picking up a bunch of spare parts along the way.
The spurs need to play better. They need to make shots, clamp down defensively, and stop the unnecessary turnovers. Why don't you take your half-baked, incoherent dribble of thoughts and ideas back to "cavsfanatic" forum if you've yet to be outcasted by cavs society.
But, where are my manners, I do appreciate you stopping by. See ya next year you flaming honker.
P.S.Keep your english dictionary handy. Your going to need it to get through your simple-minded pathetic little boxed up world you live in.
This thread is nothing more than a late night HA- HA

What a clueless Loser,..
For you to harvest a string of zingers and try to counter by scribbling all that NOTHING. Which amounted to nothing short of your begging others to side with your ignorance and inferiority. Is the epitome of your weakness and a profound inability to stand alone you know nothing nobody,..ROTFFLMAO !!!
Yet then to conclude it with your idea of " Wit " by trying to proliferate " Spam tactics " and even posting a graphic of someones beautiful infant. That bears the medical misfortune of a cleft lip as in anyway " Funny? ". Is the mark of a capstones for how twisted you are you crying cretin,..nothing less.
See clearly you need more than therapy and if I dare see anymore crying from you. I assure you I'll mercilessly humiliate you to the lowest degree of all board jokes to have ever existed. Where as being a man of my word I rest assured you'll cower and fume in dysfunctional silence with your duplicitous inferiority complex,..and THAT'S dominance you delusional dimwit.
Oh you Murph you mush mouth mutant,..ROTFFLMAO !!!
Get off of it you twisted snit this team doesn't HAVE to remain this way and continue to fall short of their potential with the core prowess they have. See in contrast I've provided perspective on not just what but some " who's " that can improve it. As opposed to you merely opting to cry about it and aimlessly point your fickle blame finger at everybody except your clueless self,..ROTFFLMAO !!!
See the generic universal idiocy you're bawling about makes absolutely no sense. Clearly you're super stupid, clueless and being cited for crying while lying. To such a degree that anyone with as much as a basic education can tell, there are no " Big words " within my shared perspective you illiterate idiot,..so much for your attempt to blame your lack of any sense, ball knowledge and no education on me,.. huh.
You're just oblivious to the factors I've provided which are soundly based in floor sciences facts that are above your hollow and hot air filled head. So all you've done is tried stringing together an array of talking point terms that you've heard on TV or radio. That allowed you to proceed to self exploit a degree of how combo blindly and baselessly you've failed to apply them here with any accuracy,..now bla, bla, bla, bla,.. that fact you fuming fraud.
In regards to who's, Who and whats What?
Which it's also to be noted you're of the absolute weakest, dumbest and most irrelevant variety of net based nitwits. Campaigning as a clueless crier because I provide insight fix's for every team except the Cavaliers,.. read the signature you generic Clingon.
See it's widely known that I'd put that hapless outfit on the exposure and insight map having raised the worst to the nets best by my association of orchestration. That catapulted them to the only net notoriety and floor success " loser-ville " had ever experienced,..it was a gratuitous favor they proved not worthy of.
For which upon my exit and foretelling they've been left to their own device and duly crashed and burned. To such a measurable degree that there's always criers like you that's noticed that from first back to worst transformation,..isn't that something?
So with your envy and inability to even remotely match worth or wits with me. You resort to wishing to god I'd entertain any interest in helping the losers that still has a LeBron James again. You're of a large crowd that know what you saw and or heard and proclaim to still be in disbelief,..ROTFFLMAO !!!
Not that you've noticed though,..huh.
![]()
Here's the thing,..
See first you'd have to really know basketball in order to be able to accurately assess skills sets, floor fit and how augmenting abilities form a functional attack. If not you'll not understand what anybody tells you short of them suggesting some trade for a Garnett, Stoudemire, Carlos Boozer, Dirk, Gasol or stealing a Dwight Howard out of Orlando,..and THAT ain't realistically gonna happen.
See you're hung up on not hearing some " stars " names being suggested in some trade deal here. So since Ely isn't signed now you feel he's some scrub and thus miss the look and have no idea the value he'd add to this team specifically.
If this were a young team without the seasoned core that they have. I'd say let them play and develop and watch the progressive improvement. But that's not the case and this team has enough talent in Duncan, Manu, Jefferson, Parker, Hill and McDyess. To make a legit run when / if they get specific skills set support,..it's called putting the right pieces together.
See not all teams need the same thing in regards to player skills sets and there are more teams than the Spurs that adding Ely would help. But also those other teams aren't trying to augment a versatile Tim Duncan who can torch an opponent off the multi angle with some help nor have a Manu, Jefferson and Parker cast of talent that they can and should be getting more mileage and production out of either,..they're not over the hill,.. yet.
On this roster you act like McDyess, Bonner, Ratliff or any of the others are better than Ely and fact is they're not. Ely's not the best player in the world but he's enough of an athletic big body to augment an All-Star like Tim Duncan that just needs more assistance in the post,..to not support him is to waste him.
Which to get anyone better of such a skills set than Ely you're going to have to trade for them. Which going that route isn't cheap, the Spurs don't have financial cap space and they don't have compensation talent to fork over that anybody would want without weakening the core.
This team just got beaten by an opponent that unleashed their bench depth on them and won. So aside from that if you'd been knowing what you've been seeing out of this Spurs team. You'd know how they're being attacked and what they don't have to counter with in the matchup or transition attack.
I mean what did playing Dice out of position and Popovich knowing he'd better not tried to play Ratliff against this opponent show you last night? But not just this / that game but any of the others as well?,..see how that works?
Sorry, I don't respond to such quackery. You sir, are a grade A moron.
It must be lonely living up their on cloud 9 with your ego shoved so far up your crack, its causing a ripple effect. But I do understand for your need for the fruity play on words. Other than proving to me that you passed the fifth grade, It is merely your way of overcompensating for other such shortcomings that has left you stale and insipid.
Best of luck to ya, because god knows you'll need it you sanctimonious mook.
Just stop talking already. Your embarrassing yourself!!
I was brought up not to make fun of the mentally challenged, but in your case, I will make an exception!!
If I have to save it

You're the absolute epitome of Worthless,...
With your having well over 18,000 entries of " That " conclusively confirms you're combo useless and clueless. Surely you've been given the " STFU " response and greeting by routine. Because it's crystal clear that to amass 18,293 posts means you're ignored everywhere and still begging for attention,..ROTFFLMAO !!!
See it's easy to note by your displaying that the euphoria of your absolute idiocy is in proliferating nothing but baseless Spam,..you're a combo of pitiful and pathetic.
Thus is why fun loving fans in the array of sports revel and forums thrive when a counter presence like myself arrives. Their joy is in recognizing your being a scrub that at my choosing. I can opt to humiliate you in a fun for all manner that they know would leave you fuming,..I could wreck you in more ways than the Kama Sutra has positions.
Although it's Christmas so in keeping with ensuring the day is held with sacred meaning. So today and today only I'll show some restraint and refrain from dismantling you,..but tomorrow is another day.
So just watch the clock there you hapless Homer,..

************************************************** ******
See the wide open look is this Monk { I mean Murph },.. Be it agree or disagree with how I see things in manner of tweaks, fix's and improvements. We both / all have the opportunity to share game perspective and allow others to decide the plausibility and even strength of merit,..and you choose to hate the player because you have no game.
See,.. there's a term we ballers have used since playground days citing " Ball don't lie ". Which means if a " self check " player can't play it'll be revealed as well as if they didn't deserve favor of a call they'll lose possession, by direct steal, forced turnover or blow the shot even if given free throws,..thus it is what it is.
Here's how it plays out here:
See those like you wouldn't trek off the ball if you dared thought you could beat or even compete when there's an opportunity for you to play on or with it,..and you've not countered anything I've displayed in my total floor game.
Which means and shows that you and those like you. Unquestionably feel so intimidated by being exposed too and encountering the presence of a player. That by your own actions show that in your lacking any comparable skills to play. It's your jealousy, envy and inferiority that compels you to make punchline awaiting fools of yourselves,..what else would you call it?
So it's that clear that you're of the kind that only serve as " Off the Ball " and off the wall drop shot props. That beg for me to make " Watch this " examples out of you,..and fans LOVE my making highlights on your being such hapless and clueless low life's.
Shot calling:
Thus, it's detected that in a manner of my force feeding you that little dose of actuality in reality. That " laying it on the line " humbled you to the point of having not only disarmed your caustic caper, demoralized your ugly ego { poor fella },... LMAO !!!
But it's more importantly foiled any hopes you had of my ever even remotely re-considering rendering any assistance. Nor as much as an iota of association with natural born losers and idiotic ingrates that the current ownership of the Cavaliers epitomize,..and like you they'll languish as losers by design, fate and cause and effect insistence.
See where no team is perfect and mistakes will be made. But like a few other teams I see the Spurs as a franchise and deserving fan base. That wants to win and thus can merely use some fresh insight assistance from a learned mind of the game,..and that's just not a role you can fill and your being so silly you never will.
So see I have no ugly ego but in reveling in ability immaculate court vision, game grasp and conclusive facts. I also know that my levitation far exceeds any settling for a mere cloud 9 level there you fuming flat foot,..and it ain't braggin when I can back it up.
Oh,.. and very Merry Christmas there Murph and so much for your " quackery " huh,... ROTFFLMAO !!!

You my friend , are RE ED
The number of times you have used the word "ROTFFLMAO !!!" is irritating too...
Friend?,..
No,.. clearly you're a Foe that don't know you schmo,..LMAO !!!
See I laugh because it's those like you that are that funny to me. I mean there's no question you're so dumb it's beyond questionable. Where here in contrast I provide a scroll of performance and production perspective.
But nothing due you but to enter a game insight thread in a sports forum. Just, solely and exclusively to announce your non game related ignorance, inferiority, stupidity and jealousy and dare use the term Re ed? { Oh the irony },..ROTFFLMAO !!!
You've posted a gazillion entries in the mini forums that nobody cared about. So you're jealous and fuming with envy that my playing in the open court. Not hanging on any players jock { unlike you } and spark total floor debate. Notice how others are viewing, dissecting and along with digesting they're discussing what they've extracted from my perspective in spawned threads,..sure you have.
Now see that's not just some blind boob blab nor baseless put down opinion retort. Not when there's absolutely no other way to explain it. See I didn't make you so super stupid but I just summed up how deplorably dumb you are { try denying it },...NOW claim it's my fault?
Now off that wrinkle and leaving you steamed let's just get you pressed,...ROTFFLMAO !!!

At least I don't hide behind a troll ID.And tomorrow is another day? Really? Are you Scarlett O'Hara? WTF?
ok melvin ely and morris almond, im not going to sit here and pretend like i know who your talking about so please enlighten me. Because i am totally lost.
There is a reason Melvin Ely is a free agent right now, his Bball IQ terrible, and that is being nice, and his "D" is just as bad. The Spurs had him once and got rid of him for a reason, why would they want him back?
Almond is a scorer, which something the Spurs don't really need, they need a defender, I don't know much about him except from stats, but the stats indicate his "D" is not very good.
Your for ude is commendable, but rather shallow and pedantic you Dingo baby. While you asservate your cognizance and/or erudition, which ever the case may be, it is clearly based on false pretences you babbling brooke. Let me enlighten you dying fetus.
While both Almond and Ely provide wonderment and posterity to an aging frontline, their lack of experience alongside championship brass will undoubtedly be their undoing. The spurs ill's cannot be cured by signing a couple of vagrant journeymen, who's skills, not withstanding, will accomplish minimal results in a mere 48 minute tussle.
While Almond's sweet touch from the perimeter is a plus, his defensive prowess is less than desirable. Ely's physical skills and finishing ability may be positive attributes, his at ude is discernibly concerning. I mean, why not Rashed McCants, Von Wafer, or Maseo Baston.
No, you have made it abundantly clear that your floor science is merely anecdotal in nature. Your credentials and core expertise is purely a lark directed at ST aficionado's. Your posts are nothing more than taunts and conjecture you vaginal belch.
After reading your failed retorts, it has become abundantly clear to me that this is nothing more than a game to you. For this reason I will no longer supply substanants to a disordered soul. I will no longer reply to anymore of your riposte's as it merely eggs you on you bumbling buffoon.
While I'm most certain you'll reply post-haste with your whimsical play on words, as you attempting to show off your acute dominating superiority complex, and while continuing to leave your refuse all over this thread, remember this Gump (oh, I mean OP). Your insecurities are overwhelmingly obvious to one and all members of ST, as evident in your swift chastising and dismantling of other posters personal feelings and opinions, as if yours was superior and final to that of all others. You sir are a flaming fraud hiding behind a row of keys.
Get off your high horse because your as stale as a steaming sunday morning fart. ROTFFLMAO!!!
Again, your going to notice an edit. Well, I thought I would add a picture that fits both your charm and personality to a tee you heaping pile of cow dung.

Here's some insight on him Lenny,..
First off Melvin Ely, is no star but he's loaded with role player skills in regards to post play. He's a 6'10" versatile big that played college ball at Fresno State under Jerry Tarkanian and played like a absolute gem doing it. Coming out of school Ely was the 12th pick in the 2002 NBA draft and via some off the court disruptions atop of landing with some terrible teams. Unfortunately it hindered his development and he never lived up to all he'd shown in college,.. But this is the first year he's been unsigned since he was drafted and there's no question if he can play productive ball or not.
Currently Mr. Ely's 31 years of age and like a number of other talented role players. Right now he's unsigned because of the financial crunch which has so many teams whom already had so many guaranteed contracts he / they didn't financially fit. Keep in mind all players, coaches, GM's and owners are people with varying persona's and therefore various teams and certain players will be at such off the floor odds the skills set floor fit would be derailed by it,..[b]and yes some teams by their owners, GM or coach are avoided at all cost by some players
See with this economy every team in the league is cutting budget so thin. That the majority of teams are playing with their rosters at the league minimum requirement of 12 or 13 players to cut costs instead of the full roster allotment of 15 players,..otherwise players like Ely, Almond, Antonio Daniels, Stromile Swift, Wally Szczerbiak, Jerry Stackhouse, Rashard McCants, Brevin Knight and a few others wouldn't be unsigned and thus still available.
See not only for max team value improvement on the floor. But these very same Spurs rank somewhere around the top 5 in having the highest payrolls in the league. So on a wide range of reasons and issues this team can ill afford to be losing and the franchise stems the tide of the red to black scale if they can rack up the wins,..to be top 5 in pay and middle of the pack via play means something needs fixed like fast.
In a lot of ways the more versatile Melvin Ely is likened to a Chris Wilcox whom at 27 years of age now plays for the Detroit Pistons. They were both such super talent 6'10" - 6'11" bigs coming out of college that in the same 2002 draft Wilcox was selected 8th and Ely was selected at 12th,..many cited more youth and a stronger built body in Wilcox than Ely had.
But they were only selected that low because offsetting their immense talents on the floor. They also both unfortunately had some minor off the court issues that combo concerned some scouts. That affected their draft value and also contributed to neither of them playing to their potential as pro's.
Where in comparison Wilcox was more of a stopper that could score around the basket. Although Ely showed a little of everything and along with being s shot blocker he showed a broader scoring range that exceeded Wilcox and at last look still does.
Which in respecting that McDyess still plays a very solid PF with Bonner being relatively a shooter and Ratliff isn't washed up playing backup in the post at the 5. But singularly neither of them quiet adds up to the combo of height size, muscle and athletic rebounding, scoring and help defender. That Melvin Ely does having a versatility to give quality minutes playing both post positions,..and THAT's an element that can make a huge difference with this roster.

......what's ROTFFLMAO?...............
rolling on the ing floor laughing my ass off.
I'm sure he's scratching his head as he types away on his word processor thinking of a proper rebuttal so he can bury my post with his squalor. I'm not going to reply, but I am interested in reading his arrogant, self-righteous comments spewed in my direction. Its almost comical because he tries so hard but fails so miserably. Again, this entire thread.... ROTFFLMAO!!!!

Doesn't it say something that the Spurs had Ely here -- and that he was a part of a le team after they traded for him -- but they have no interest in him?
I understand that there is some need to prove oneself to be a basketball genius by promoting an "unearthed gem" who will somehow become a contributor after having been forgotten on the scrap heap. But in pimping Ely -- and particularly in suggesting that he'd fit with the Spurs -- you're talking to a fanbase that has been there and done that and didn't much care for what it saw. More importantly, there comes a point in time where the whole world realizes that a guy just isn't a player at the NBA level, and certainly not a giy who can contribute to a team with le aspirations. I'd submit to you that no matter his skillset, that's Melvin Ely, circa 2010. It was Eddie Robinson a few years before that. Maybe Tyrone Nesby or Lamond Murray in the years that preceded those two. The truth is, however, that time shows those players to be tragically limited and easily replaceable -- and that truth becomes readily apparent to anyone who watches players without a "See how brilliant I am" agenda.
The temptation to promote a player as a pet project in the hope that he pans out so that you can say "See I told you so" (with the only downside being some remote chance that others will recall your insistence upon that player's worth when it has been disproven) is a cliche on internet message boards. Such unbridled support for Melvin Ely is just another variation on that theme. So thanks for ensuring that the cliche remains alive and well on SpursTalk.
+ 1 All that glitters isn't gold
I take it you enjoyed your gift Murph { that was " coal " huh },..LMAO !!!!
See now you're " somewhat " starting to catch on so I'll work with you a bit here. Which since we're starting to get you to have a bit more fun. Let's utilize this opening to get you to learn a bit more to make you a far better player. You're coming along but you're still too heavy on the profanity and sexual innuendo,..loose the envy and I can bring you out of the shadows of Star-Dumb.
You state,..
See mixed in that you're onto something I'd already expressed concern about. Where neither player exactly lacks experience and you're inaccurate in that regard. But mentioning " Championship Brass " is a factor to be contended with by way of Popovich and Buford having an outdated mindset that I think has to be rethought. Because the core that's carried them to previous championship glory thus far has aged. Timmy's no longer the lively 30 year old, Parker misses the outlet options and Manu is now an oft injured 32 year old that needs some of the load taken off him,..but with more help as I see it they're still very capable of getting it done.While both Almond and Ely provide wonderment and posterity to an aging frontline, their lack of experience alongside championship brass will undoubtedly be their undoing. The spurs ill's cannot be cured by signing a couple of vagrant journeymen, who's skills, not withstanding, will accomplish minimal results in a mere 48 minute tussle.
Which to do it and or provide that required help it's clear that this year and thus far. The brain trust of Popovich and Buford has initially calculated wrong in regards to what they've constructed this year in regards to sustaining or any self containment. So they've got to be able to scour the talent wire by fit and fix the looks they've merely missed on their initial look,..and that's the upon further review and refinement assistance I've providing here.
Then you present,..
Because Morris Almond's shot spreads the floor and his size allows him to be a constant scoring threat from beyond just the perimeter. Granted he's not any defensive baron but neither are any of the prospects you're pondering in comparison. Thus via an assortment of floor fit factors Morris Almond is the better " by need " player and there's no question about it,..here goes.While Almond's sweet touch from the perimeter is a plus, his defensive prowess is less than desirable. Ely's physical skills and finishing ability may be positive attributes, his at ude is discernibly concerning. I mean, why not Rashed McCants, Von Wafer, or Maseo Baston.
Rashard McCants is a talent but along with durability concerns. He doesn't have the size nor shot range or scoring consistency of Morris Almond. See this signing wouldn't be a harvesting of talent just to bolster depth as much as it'd be acquiring an exact skill by fit to fill a specific void,..and Morris Almond grades out better.
Von Wafer is a very skilled prospect as well but along with just having failed a physical in Houston. He's also more a nice sized shoot first PG than off the ball SG. He plays better on the ball than off the ball and that's not the need the Spurs have, So by traits and skills set with the Spurs already having pure PG talent and depth in the tandem of Tony Parker and George Hill. Coupled with limited roster space and limited money decreases their need for adding Von Wafer,..Wafer also doesn't have the pure range and instant offense accuracy of Morris Almond either.
Maseo Baston is 6'9" but being so lean he's a bit too small for a PF. Already having an older but more complete Antonio McDyess at 6'9" and a stronger build diminishes any need for adding Baston. The void to be filled is a Duncan bookend in the post and no way does Baston compare to a Melvin Ely size, strength and skills set in playing that role. Also having already heavily invested in Richard Jefferson and Micheal Finley sliding him down to SF would be a glut where he'd never play,..so with the need this Spurs roster has Melvin Ely grades out head and shoulders above Baston.
So see it's not my being on any " High Horse " or casting any veiled nor embraced " insecurities." Being the total opposite it's flat out and straight up confidence in engaging fans. Pertaining to subject matter where I know what I know on the ball and I can even play off the ball and run roughshod over off topic hacks that think fouling is such a novel or ingenious defensive approach,..I just don't cower from teaching them it doesn't work.
See fouling only enhances a dominant players scoring prowess opportunities. Which is why only the hacks get demoralized once they discover that trying to foul only presents those opportunities for me to have my way with them. But in being a team player I do it in an array of fun filled manners of exploiting the mismatches playing them face up with an added ability to absolutely punish them off the angle,..and I don't favor nor embrace any need, interest nor reason to play down. To the level of refraining from rendering a scrub at the absolute mercy of the prowess I have to exploit them at will.
Where as a fans fan and connection to put on display. That what I've exposed you too is a far more refined science than any anecdotal in nature offering. Of course like you'd so miserably failed to grasp on initial exposure,..can you hear me now?
