TC...
I know exactly where your coming from and I couldn't agree with you more regarding the "satisfaction index"...however...I still recall getting waxed by my 1st "baby seal" years later. I used to spend a lot of time working with a couple guys from Ireland Gremlin & Greyarea (among many others). As my "tour" as a trainer was winding down I started to venture forth into the MA again on a more regular basis...anyway one of my 1st hops I ran into gremlin who just 90 days before had been a newly graduated "semi seal" he was certainly already decent by then...but he just whacked the snot out of me....he certainly had gotten much much better...but I felt like the whole game had gotten "faster" somehow. For whatever reason that encounter stuck with me for a long time as a reminder of how fine the line between windshield and bug can be in this game.
BTW the quote is from ghosth...
