What "kill"? Unicorn claimed a few days ago that he THOUGHT that his challenge would never be accepted, ostensibly because of haggling by me. I interpret this as unwillingness to bargain in good faith (sandbagging), which is reasonable given Unicorn's track record. Given this thinly-veiled warning of dishonesty, it is only realistic that I would not want to accept his challenge.
Jim Bell's ignorance apparently knows no boundaries. That's not what "sandbagging" means. In poker, to sandbag is to raise a bet after having opened that betting round by checking. It's frowned upon in some poker games, but completely acceptable in others - check the house rules before trying it. Try as I might, I can't see how Black Unicorn's statements qualify as sandbagging. He certainly didn't open the betting by checking! - -- Alan Bostick | They say in online country there is no middle way mailto:abostick@netcom.com | You'll either be a Usenet man or a thug for the CDA news:alt.grelb | Simon Spero (after Tom Glazer) http://www.alumni.caltech.edu/~abostick -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQB1AwUBMX8PwuVevBgtmhnpAQHf3wL/VWAPk8uF8p9hsUKp9q6OLd8TpRKN4N0Y aE3t2ECHB1unfjtSAeQxF1PeGhJdv53XWvcRyS44dgHNaylovpbJSXN3IEUg0GeT 9JyaieZ02EHBlHeNrUjCWTNfJAtSLVdX =AGof -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
