Hey! Thanks a lot for the kind words! You, and everyone else who might be concerned w/ my mental stability, don't have a thing to worry about! I'll tell you what's really going on, though. I might be too 'old school.' Every now and then I mention that I played the old NYC clubs. If someone at the 'TeddyKGB' (the Madison Ave. VFW club) were to say something from the rail (which never happened) they'd risk getting loudly told off and maybe slapped. At 'The Chesterfield' (the Mayfair) they'd get told off more quietly.
That's what's behind my stance. You're not in the game, the players usually don't mind you sweating it for a bit. Open your mouth about something game related? Be ready to get told off. Somehow every player in every room knows this intuitively and Suit, whose career this is, has only seen it a handful of times. Just keep quiet, imo.
