I'm going to second the opinion that Stephen Webb wrote a good packet, 
as reasonable as can be expected from anyone at his level of schooling 
and experience. 

I magnificently enjoyed my experience this weekend, including finally 
making my first post-tournament trip to Provino's. Getting stomped may 
beat not playing, but when it comes to getting stomped vs. not 
playing, getting a chance to read the wit and humor that Charlie 
encourages/injects into packets, and getting a free meal at Provino's, 
I suspect Nick Bakay would say "push." (I played so I played.)

It was certainly a pleasureable experience. For anyone who knows me, 
you will be shocked to know that I believe I maintained a better than 
10:1 TU:I ratio in both tournaments this weekend. Of course, I 
reverted to form in the semis of Mock Masters and negged three times, 
including twice on tossups that I knew the other team could not 
convert. My hats off to a good free agent team that beat me despite 
probably all meeting each other for the first time that weekend. 

Thanks to everyone who hosted, played with me, played against me, or 
just plain hung out.
