I don't think it should be my responsibility to get over my pet peeve. I think everyone should be required to put in their post subjects "Hey, mosdef, I am using the word variance in this post in a reckless and cavalier fashion so please do not read!" if they are going to use the word variance in this post in a reckless and cavalier fashion.

It should be OUR responsibility to get over your pet peeve? For you? heheheh

I don't think this was ever billed as a forum for irritable jargon purists.

[mosdef]

Fair enough. But, as I've pointed out in some follow-up posts, I was actually joking about being really upset about this.

That said, it is my heartfelt belief that the infestation of posts with the word "variance" comes from the statistical analysis that has been done over the last year or so on the forum talking about how many SNGs you need to get a feel for your actual ROI and confidence intervals for results and all that fun stuff. My point (I think I had one at one point) is that losing streaks are often bad luck. But variance is not equivalent to bad luck. It's not even equivalent to bad performance. You can increase your ROI while jacking up your variance by changing your style.

[mosdef]

I'm really not that irritable when you get to know me.

Moron.

For the pure cosmic joy of it, obviously.

its not like this is an isolated incident or anything, people do this to me ALL THE TIME. that is why i am playing the 22s. because they give you their money.

LOL.

[Voltron87]

if i wasn't doing so well i would have flipped out there. sucess does help you deal with bad beats, im not even bothered by that too much. if i was even for the last 40 sngs i would have hunted him down and pulled yugo. ive never seen the spite call on level one like that.

[citanul]

is it bad that since this jesus guy has started posting, i now hate all christians?

[citanul]

hm, PVS gets a good play named after him, Yugo gets "a yugo" to be something involving raping, skullfucking, beatings, and urination... seems like he got a raw deal.
