Look. 80 is a leader. He adds value to the dialogue and raises everyone's game. He certainly doesn't need (or probably want) my endorsement, but I'm in his corner. Has he been flying for 35 years? Apparently not. While some would see that as a negative, I don't. We need fresh perspectives, not a stale "because that's the way we've always done it" approach.

slowplay is just a hatchet man. He has no creativity, and merely propagates others' ideas in return for a cushy gig with minimal work and maximum graft. He wins when he's dragged others down to his level in the gutter. Regrettably, I allowed myself to be suckered in, and for that, I apologize.
