We don't have an editor, so there was nobody to prevent your drivel from
getting into cyberspace.
I suggest that if you think it is so darned easy to make accurate
predictions of the complete breadth of a sporting event of this magnitude in
the time-frame required by the deadlines of a monthly publication such as
NAP, that you write such an article in time for publication next year and
submit it to NAP. Then we can all pick at yours.
Sure, Big Dick's yearly articles are not perfect, but I have not yet seen
better ones ready for deadline.

I don't generally take it upon myself to publicly point out others' errors
in language, but since you set such a high standard for Mr. Berger, I
figured you wouldn't mind.
