Interesting piece of essay at the end. I'm a pretty big michael jordan fan and remember him saying the same thing you said (Everytime you try, you succeed).

For example, he can't accept not trying. That's why he retired from basketball and tried out for the mlb. Even though he never made the mlb, he succeeded becaused he tried.

That and because he was banned from basketball for that period of time.

Any reason why some are getting the essay and others are not? Does that have to do with the answer that are given?

Also, I have to think a bunch of 2+2ers filling out the survey will skew the results...as has been stated elsewhere.

Good luck. I Pm'd you my address cause I would like the essay as well.

I think it has to do with the way it is displayed after you finish the test. You won't see it unless you scroll down past the thank you message.

I would like the essay too. Plus I would like you to send me some cash, I would like that too. I prefer denominations of 20's and 50's but if you find it necessary to include some 10's I will not be overly upset.

It's a theory that made sense at the time, but no, I don't have any specific knowledge. I do know that the NBA is rigged (more rigged than online poker) however, so if any league would do this, they would.

Perhaps you could post the essay here?
I filled out the survey but for some reason couldn't see the essay.

Keep in mind that you will be getting a very skewed result from this site. It would be like asking people about their recreational golfing habit and then going to USOpen qualifying tourneys to ask about it. People here are much more likely to be dedicated winning players with a fairly clear view of poker

We are getting way off topic -- maybe not completely since I think you are nuts -- but banning the best player and the biggest ticket drawer in the league doesn't make any sense if you are rigging the game to increase revenue. Plus this year the two biggest market teams didn't even make the playoffs, and the Clippers in LA never make the playoffs. But hey, maybe you are right.
