Default Re: Annointing New Top Poster On SMP

I berated people who, despite clarification, insisted on answering a question I wasn't asking. Anyway, I offered to prop bet the people involved any amount they wanted laying 11:10 (if the non-LT side scored more, they got paid 11:10), money held by a trusted 3rd party, and they wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Clarified that situation pretty fast, since if they believed the trade was even neutral for the team, they would have jumped on the free money. If I'd simply made a poll in SE for that prop bet, I would have avoided all the idiocy. Stupid me for thinking people would understand the two questions were roughly equivalent and answer consistently.

As for this forum, um.. neat! I'm not quite sure what I specifically did to get anointed, since there are some consistently good posters who articulate intelligent views well, but I'll take it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
