    I meant insane in terms of his behaviour. I agree that he smashed the interviewer in terms of knowledge of the game.

    The Jacko interview you posted was interesting and very amusing. I forgot how insane that guy is.

    No, all of my "tangents" relate to the two points you chose to pick up on: Communicating with the "locals" about Tardball, and Nationalism. I'm not going off topic.
