wow, after i read dennis' disappointing post yesterday (totally missing the point and misdirecting credit, which happens a lot; usually not dennis, but in general), i decided to just drop it as a lost cause. but the thread has taken another twist, as they usually do.
a lot occurred when i pointed out dan getting defensive over what i felt was a typical gamer atttitude. and yes, you are correct, i love debating the gamer vs golfer psychological aspect of the game. and i felt this was an appropriate opportunity. but no, i couldn't care less about the rankings (though flight tournaments are among my favorite venues), and debating the evolving rankings formulae was the furthest thing from my mind. but dan's response(s) were mature/intelligent, so i was cool with that (liberal versus conservative discussion i've had great fun debating elsewhere; sometimes the lines blur here).
and the tete-a-tete between terry and larry epitomizes the abeunt studia in mores of the gamer versus golfer. see, it's not a dead issue, and the more we discuss it, and hopefully learn from it, the better the understanding we'll have for differing/opposing viewpoints. my point.
