These people (including myself) have used information and ideas/opinions from all the 3 named above and found something out:
WHAT THEY SAY HAS HELPED MY GAME IN SOME FORM OR WAY A LOT!
So what did i do? I joined their sites and i continue to learn this day after 2.5 years. I am one of the best ballstrikers i know because of it and i also am pursuing a career in teaching as well.

And more than a few seekers have been helped by your own posts, Jim. Thank you for your many contributions!

You do indeed have a "real" life.
And I, for one, am proud to be part of it.

Amen, Yoda.

I am overwhelmed by what has been said. Thank you very much.
Lynn, you know the first screen name you gave me was Han Solo and we all know how he shot before thinking. How appropriate a name you gave me.
Every post I wrote on gea was as much for my benefit as it was yours. Spend time organizing thoughts on paper is a good way to self teach. I’m glad it reach some of the readers. I always referred the members to see Lynn and Ted. They are the fog lifters. Ted don’t stop posting there, just don’t be the jerk I was.
As for that post- odd that anyone can read it by request. The harshest word I used was ‘chump.’ And everything I said about GH was the truth- okay the harsh truth. I was angry but not a liar.
Thank you
Thanks Teach, Lynn, Jim, BJNY and everyone else.

Han may have reacted 'passionately' to some situations, but I think any true fan knows that his contributions were critical to success.
As is yours.
I've never so much as read anything on GEA, but I assume from the comments that it must be a lot like FGI can be at times.
Everybody has different perspectives. Many are passionate about them.
Nothing wrong with that.
Unique perspectives are opportunties to learn from each other.
Peace.

Ed, George Hibbard appears to be the self-appointed top dog there. Enough said?

So what? George is more passionate about golf than most and has studied the swing much more than most will ever give him credit. You don't have to agree or disagree with him to appreciate his dedication to the game.
That is the real point of all these boards. The members all love the game and want to help each other.

I think we should lock up this thread. But not until I get 2 more cents. (sorry) I never had trouble with his knowledge of the golf swing. The point of my so called ‘over the top’ post was about his integrity, how he uses false sincerity asking several questions about Homer and the book only to wait for an ally and trash everything you wrote. I don’t care if he likes or even understands TGM - just don’t prance back every few months wide-eyed and inquisitive just start I conversation to set up an attack to trash HKelley. So I called him the C word- ‘Chump.’ George could be the wizard of the golf world (he isn’t) but it doesn’t justify being a loathsome scoundrel.

That was kinda my point. George starts out civil, then he loses it and brings out the flame thrower. Passionate? Well... only if you agree with whatever he posts. Disagree, and he turns into a flamer.

Other than this forum, isn't the behaviour described found on just about all forums? There always seems to be a few posters who every so often have to stir the pot, guess it makes them feel better.
