Fred never lost an argument that I remember. He just created new definitions for terms. His saving grace is that he kept the conversations going in the off-season. Never a dull moment with Fred. Ditto for Joe from Florence.
Edit: That was really off-tangent. But when a thread reaches 75 pages and still the issue remains the same as in the first page, then I guess we should have liberty to open up the conversation.
You nailed my thoughts on Fred, he could never admit he was wrong. I think I got him to admit he was wrong one time in all of the years.
That was like pulling the short and curly's too....
