    It is only repugnant because trolls have pushed forth the idea that I do it to feel superior. I learn things by understanding how things work. I don't memorize answers to all sorts of things. I have stated this numerous times in casual conversation on the forum. I see everyone else as a mirror of myself just like everyone else does. That means I feel it is more important to get them to understand something than know what the answer is. That is the reason why I answer the way I do. The trolls have effectively changed the perceptions of people that are easily influenced into thinking I want to feel superior. Would I lay it out there if I am in the minority view with loads of extremely qualified people disagreeing with me if that were the case. Of course not. To anyone reading the recent posts on the forum it should be obvious I don't care about impressing people. If I were I would research all my posts before making them. I am human and make mistakes. I am not worried about making them on the forum because I am not trying to impress anyone. That should be abundantly clear to even the biggest dolt after recent threads.

    I never showed anything impressive. I have some interactive sim results already opened and simply entered the information necessary to give the OP what he needed. How would anyone possibly think that was impressive? You could probably teach a chimp to do it. Well the interactive spread sheet is impressive but those accolades don't belong to me. They belong to the software designer, Gronbog. Take a bow Gronbog. And what is wrong with all scenarios? The OP isn't the only learning from the forum. Most posters answer to allow others to learn about related questions the readers might have as well. You aren't one of those trying to helpful in a broader sense. Right or wrong you just very directly and specifically answer the question. No attempt is ever made to get the OP to understand why that is the answer. It is a matter of opinion as to which is better. Obviously those that answer the question and try to teach a little more about why that is the answer to the question disagree with you on which is better. That doesn't make either opinion right or wrong.
    Another summary
    You still don't get it.

    Getting it is beyond your comprehension

    The fact is - the only way for 3 to get it, is to bang him on the head, figuratively only. Being polite simply doesn't send the message - because, he doesn't get it.

    A lot go people say they don't like me. When that is the case some will mark posts unhelpful more aggressively. I only care if I help the OP or any others interested in the answer. I could care less what my helpful rating is. All I know is over 900 people said my posts have been helpful. To those that didn't think so all I can say is at least I tried. It would be useful to have a separate category for the OP's opinion on helpful or not. That is the most important rating. The next most important are those that want to learn about what the OP was asking or what you commented on. The rest are really sort of irrelevant.

    Did I ever mention how the idea came to me, to formulate the FBM ASC.

    This is the only thing anyone has said that is a reason to consider changing my approach. I have never cared what others think of me. I care how I feel about myself. I am not here to please others. I am here to try to help people that ask for help. But I am definitely not here to help casino personnel that are out to get me. Am I starting to sound paranoid? LoL

    I am still waiting for one other poster to try to answer the OP's question. So far everyone, ironically including Don, has just derailed the thread. And it all started with one unhelpful post from a troll. Perhaps everyone shuld start making posts that start the off topic comments as unhelpful.

    A couple of comments
    1. Of course you care about your helpful rating score.
    2. Between you and the hi Opt brigade, you guys have thrown about 25-30 unhelpful my way. Doesn't change my posting style.
    3. Your prime motivation is the sound of your own voice, or more accurately, the excessive calligraphy you display.
    4. You still don't want to get it, based on your obsessive defence if your ridiculous position.

    Learn the KISS method in your posting responses. I expect that comment to totally fall on deaf ears, but you never know. For the 7998th time, few people are interested in your ridiculously complicated novellos spouting line after line of copy paste minutiae when it comes to answer the simplest if problems.

    When it comes to a count debate Freighter is the one always bringing up Hiopt2/ASC. Others include it as one logical extreme in a comparison. When they do that it represents the approximate results of several multilevel ace neutral counts. Maybe he is just upset that his count is never mentioned to represent level 2 ace compromise counts. It would be the logical choice. But it also is close to Hiopt2/ASC so why bother being that thorough. Whenever I do he still bitches about it.

    That was only the revelation. As for the the concept.

    Just as Dr. Emmett Brown fell off the toilet, banging his head, and coming up with the idea of the Flux Capacitor, the light came on for Freightman, as I was showering. Soaping my petzel and baitsim, I noted the larger spherical area of my left nut VS. Right, and considered the possibilities of a digital ASC.

    It was a milestone moment in the development of blackjack protocol. As I write this, consideration is being given for inclusion of concept in BJA4. To further support my arguments, I have reviewed this post for proper grammatics and spelling.

    I don't post much, but do read the forums most days. I thought 3's post was interesting and tried to be helpful to the original poster. It seems like he is the only person in this thread trying to answer the original posters question.
    This is my opinion, and reading this thread it seems like people are attacking 3. I don't know why anyone deserves to be attacked for trying to help.
    Again this is my opinion, please don't attack me. I have no idea as to the answer to the original question or I too would try to answer it, like I feel 3 did.

    Moses is right on the money. Should mention that I popped a zit on my ass, and out came an ace neutral level 2 count. I felt much better, beng able to sit comfortably for the first time in a week.
