To all,
Time is almost up. Remember the deal we shook upon:
Best contributor to the thread as judged by me of midnight (EST implied) tonight gets the Mt. Dew.
"Best contributor" doesn't necessarily mean the person who best gets into the mind of Karthik. Contribute to the thread and I will hear you out.
Speaking of which, I will share my advice for success in the game Apples to Apples:
Know your judge. By which I mean to say you are probably not going to get a lot of credit by complaining about how unfair life is as I have been know to make light of the Fairness Cult in many circles of FIRST.
Finally, I've been silent on this thread and in fact, after the first few messages, stopped reading. Not because I was uninterested but because I wanted to be as fair of a judge as I could and so I decided to wait and read it all in one go at midnight.
Even MORE finally, Karthik sent me a PM he's monitoring the thread and that some of the discussion may inform his famously overcrowded seminar at the FIRST Champs.
So... ...put your thoughts out there. People are listening.
Cheers,
Dr. Joe J.
