On the contrary, The Dude should create a Mike Waters Bot that find his posts and put them in the appropriate forum. An algorithm then must be created to respond appropriately for MW, based on who responded, which smiley was used. This data can all be gathered from his past posts. A surrogate Robot MW is better than no MW!

Interesting to note, Hall had the best season of his career without "The best receiver in the history of BYU".
In the first two games of this season - both without Unga (and Collie for that matter) - Hall went a combined 50-70 for 638 yards with 4 TDs and a 2-0 record.
But there is no question that without the 2nd best runner in the history of BYU (arguably the best) and the best receiver in the history of BYU, Max Hall would have crashed and burned.I'm like LeBron James.

Well I may be naive, but it seemed to me like Hall had great accuracy on his passes most of the time. Could it be that Collie and Pitta also benefited from from having a good QB during their college careers? I.e., one of the reasons that their stats are so great is because Max was pretty good at delivering the ball?"There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Check that. Babs obsession with Tebow might surpass this."It's true that everything happens for a reason. Just remember that sometimes that reason is that you did something really, really, stupid."

CG is the MikeWaters blog. It's a public forum. He writes provocative stuff, and he writes well. I've told him CG now reminds me of that old saying about the tree in the forest hit by lightning that nobody is there to hear. What good are his insights if nobody reads them? Maybe like Van Vogh he has an eery assurance of immortality despite few contemporary admirers. In any event, he knows I do this and I'm sure he's flattered.When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.
