HA! OK that was good.
I believe the intent of my original post was that EDC was listening to you intently for your words of wisdom and was running to make the move. Even when I posted it, I felt like it needed more exposition.
He forces when he feels like he needs to win the whole thing himself and yes, for that, I fault him.
I'm 100% with you on feeling like he can be better and I sincerely think his work ethic shows it.
