I have to go to bed, so I'll be brief.

As someone once said, "Your friends are a reflection of you". Well, I'm not quoting anyone in particular, but surely someone has said that before. For example: I love to argue. It's not that I enjoy the actual act of arguing, but when I know that something is right, I cannot rest until all parties present are accepting of that fact. My style of arguing drove my sister crazy for -- well, it probably still drives her crazy -- and once made Jack, a typically passive person, violently slap the dashboard of his car as we debated a long forgotten topic during a road trip. Just to ensure driving myself crazy, I've managed to find a handful of other people that like nothing else than to prove their point by any means. Recently, Brendan and I were trying to convince Irfan to join the fantasy baseball league in the spring. It took only three emails back and forth until we reached this:

Brendan-
Your analogy has drawback. Say the individual in question does
like chocolate chip cookies, but does not like brownies...or more
clearly, enjoys watching the Red Sox, but does not enjoy fantasy
baseball precisely because of its flavor (e.g. antitheitcal to the
team sport concept, etc). At that point, it would be conterproductive
to force feed that individual brownies or fantasy baseball.

I have gotten what I deserve.
