"...your getting my plays for free...most posted the night before." I said that specifically. No need to be sensitive.
"Consequently, I really don't care about people missing plays so there's no need to post about it."
Disingenuous. You have your reasons for posting your plays to the world. Altruism is a myth. You have defended your published record in all sports many, many times against thread crashers. There is pride and ego involved with all posters, as there should be. You can only make these statements of record if they are published prior to the games beginning, which you always do. Whether you do it hours before the game or minutes is really your decision. The vast majority are well before game time.
Of course you care about posting plays in time for people to tail. Why would you make this time commitment otherwise? Of course you hoped that most people caught the Bost/Oak Under play at the end of a tough night. Aren't you the poster has responded to negative thread posters before with comments like "I don't understand, why would you hope someone else would lose a bet?" , or words to that effect? Not much difference here. The point is that you want people to win.
I have absolutely no idea if you have ever religiously tailed another capper before. I would take a guess that you have not. If you believe in someone as an intelligent, honest and talented capper, you want to be part of that effort and that community. When you invest a significant portion of your day from work and home refreshing LTA thread pages dozens of times per day in order to see if you have posted a new play ( most times there is not ), and then miss one because you only had a short window to catch it...it can be frustrating. I hope you can sympathize with that, if you have not experienced it first hand.
I know you are often trying to catch a better number...or are debating a play like the SD over bet two nights ago. I know that you are a busy man wearing many hats and are serious about fulfilling all those responsibilities. That is something I (and I'm sure others) respect about you. It is refreshing to me, at least.
You said recently when contemplating your retirement that you were not ready to leave the forum because you wanted to make us some more money. That is not the comment of a public forum capper that doesn't care about us missing plays. Otherwise, just post your plays at the end of the night and tell us why you made the play and we can learn from that, albeit not profit.
I have certainly been one of the most positive, vocal and supportive persons on your threads as I always will continue to be. It takes balls for you to place your plays up every night for the world to see and you deserve public support. Most can never do what you do...myself included. But, in my opinion, there will be times when frustration will pour over onto your pages (sometimes from you). I try to do it in the most respectful style possible and honor your efforts as I see most people here do as well.
Thanks again for all your tireless work...late nights too. You obviously require less sleep than us mere mortal humans.
BOL always.
