Gimme a bit - it's gonna take some writing and drawings to make sense. Remember that I cut my decks for what I did, but figured out how I SHOULD have done it afterwards. Hindsight 20/20, it is what I...

Apparently nothing other than he can bait people into responding to variations on an incessant and pointless theme. Kinda like "Which is better at xxxx, Ford or Chevy?" :D
