<p>lol I did take a lot out because no one was ever replying to my previous posts. I was assuming that my post was too long...cause when I look at other people's i answer the short ones...so naturally my little noggin thought if I eliminated less important things, it'll look shorter and still accurately reflect me. (except for the SO state win... i've done this b/f cause I didn't win...it got 4th...but I was wondering if anyone would comment on that previously and mention it as an important factor...but no one did)</p>
<p>and the captainship has suddenly become questionable</p>
