Ask away TL (you are officially a PIG, I’ve given you an acronym). There’s no reason not to get involved, the education and experience pedigrees are so varied and that’s what makes it fun and probably more accurate. You can find a harvard MBA in the main stream media, and we usually make better predictions as a group, it’s just sometimes a painful an intimidating process for some. The only thing you need to do until you get your sea legs is to avoid picking fights, especially with the old guard, but if you’ve lurked for a while, you know that. Courtesy and kindess go a long way, it’s a civilized debate with participants from various perspectives and more than likely the advice you get, when you blend it all together, will be better than you can find anywhere. Treat the answers like they treat the judges scores in the olympics, throw out the best and worst on the extremes, then average the rest, we have no control over the crackpots on either end of the spectrum, they are our crackpots and we love them, but take the average of the remaining contributors, it’s a good formula, works with almost anything. So what’s the question?
