riggs, the mere fact that you've achieved more in your lifetime than just about anyone else who posts here and still takes a moment to "take our temperature" on a question of ethics proves any number of things.
#1) From a guy that epitomizes what the "sport" of bowling should be, you have few, if any equals within the sport.
#2) Stopping in here from time-to-time and not rubbing every damned success story about tournament successes or big scores shot in league proves you're not about the bling, you're more about substance. You're NOT a man of the people, you've risen above that moreso with what you DO NOT say rather than what you actually say or type. You choose to report about a story, a tournament, or an issue from the kind of first hand perspective a lot of folks can only dream about providing.
#3) Knowing what you know about the internet, you should have known better than to try and pose a truly ethical question to the masses. As tough as this might be for you to say aloud, you've earned the right to tell someone, "..you're a real PITA...now please move out of the way as you're blocking the beautiful glare that emits from the base of my second of my four USBC Eagles."
All that's left is to throw the NANO. Win the tournament. Stop by with a worthy RIGJAM.
Return with your shield or on it. Strength and honor. Help control the population of Avenging Unicorns. Arm yourselves accordingly. MTIXE
