It's cool. I reacted the way I did because I was just getting tired of being mischaracterized on this thread by a couple of people. Sorry if I was too harsh....... which I was. :-)

Btw, I played a ton of sports all my life, and if they ever stopped keeping score I wouldn't have played. And I would not have learned the lessons from losing, about working harder, and the positive consequences of practice and discipline. It's good for the character to get your *ss kicked every once in a while, and all kids should from time to time, imo.

One time I could have used that 'no-scoring thing' was when my Steelers lost to those great Patriots this past pro football season in the AFC Championship game. ;-)

No offense was taken by the tone of your reply.

It was understandable. I'm sure we've both gotten flamed worse these past two weeks.
