    The only person capable of putting a stop this is the moderator.

    Suppose someone "bombed" the site by posting exactly the same incredibly long material day after day, without ever varying the content, and repeating the same claptrap. Could you not find a reason to decide that you didn't want that nonsense cluttering the board anymore?

    That is against the rules. This hasn't quite reached that, boring and useless as it may be. If the community agrees, I can force the user to make all such posts to the "Advanced" forum, albeit advanced may not be a reasonable description.

Then I'd know it for when that play came up again 10,000 hands later

    I prefer a simpler count to minimize fatigue associated with long sessions and it also maintains my ability to count 2 tables at the same time under the right conditions, so I can quickly jump to a better game. Immediately jumping to a favorable shoe outweighs the 5-10% EV increase of a higher level count.

    And then there's Mr. CAA's tirade against Don about advocating learning only the I-18. As James says, why limit your EV at 18 indicies? Every little bit helps.
