No Rick, I wouldn't want to make that argument. That's akin to giving the boss full credit for the Core4. That's why I indicated several KPIs and limit to certain players. McCann and Beltran shouldn't by considered Long students. Now if both come out and say...We didn't connect with Kevin, but this new guy we get...then maybe you factor them in to some degree.
...unfuckingbelievable...first off, I didn't "deflect" anything, but if you say so, it must be true because, well, you said so. ...secondly, you do what you think is best...again, I don't really care.

derp derp derpit derp derp In reference to cotton in keyholes....Sparky Lyle used to shit on Birthday cakes in the clubhouse, so no one could have Cake.....! So what....! A student asked the Master, "does a dog have a spiritual nature"? The Master replied Derp...! some mental riddles*** have a non-rational answer, designed to break down rational concepts; or conventional answers; for response.... (***the art of Koans have no inherent, capable, or verbal response(s), to questions); which have no definitive answers. In such cases, words are incapable (roadblocks to comprehension). However "cotton holes in Keyholes is NOT a mental riddle. Rather is a paranoid attempt to exclude that which the speaker does not know, and fears as a result.... I quote: "time for a good ol pasta story". I don't see the answer as being anything less than a pointless point. I see it as a excuse of a a metaphor, with no additional existence, other than to paint he who stated as much, as paranoid. Paranoia begets fear, fear begets poor dialect and/or blind false mirages for insight....! IMHO..... a story is a story, a Koan a Koan, paranoia is fear, fear makes on blind to reason. All I see in said story is nothing worth more than small idle talk. Keep up, and give us a real story Pasta. One that doesn't lack for details, or if you desire to use a mental riddle, then do as much....never mind...!
