[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 9285407, member: 177"] So, by all means, quote Lin Cordega's financials and business plans to us, Mr. Quarterback! Oh, you don't have those? How on earth can you claim to know Rascal's business better than the folks at Rascal when you don't have the most basic of their actual information or plans? And, by the way, the issue of being an armchair quarterback isn't about how well you know the game - it is about how little skin you have in it. The real quarterback has to deal with the actual situation on the ground. The real quarterback is the one who gets sacked, and has to deal with repercussions. The armchair quarterback gets to have folks forget when they are wrong, but crow when they are right. I mean, Lin Cordega [I]is[/I] the top of the RPG investigative journalism food chain right now. It is a very small chain, admittedly, but the name has cache in the field at the moment. [/QUOTE]
