About your constant remarks on his playing style, I thought that was obvious.

I would've guessed the "what" to be on a less personal basis, like why unbridled runup of the leader's score is OK.

As I've already stated my intent to permanently-retire from the Patterns Game (effective after game 0160), your comment now is a bit like shooting someone in the back as they are riding into the sunset (continuing the U.S. Old West analogy).

Well, it's actually 9.3/9.3/9.0, so still OK as a seed
