<p>beyphy, I did not call him a booster (a term I reserve for a very specific kind of poster, and I wouldn’t consider you or him a booster, either), but said “to boost,” as in the general “to prop up” or “speak well of.” Most alums on this board are guilty of the latter, but not the former (in my use of the term). </p>
<p>warblersrule, I should have worded that differently; my response was based on your criticism of a discussion I see as highly relevant to the OP’s question. But you seemed to target only my comments about Duke, rather than the many other schools I commented on, so I assumed there was a reason for that.</p>
