Yeah, so lots of folks make fun of me for keeping track of all this.  I say that doesn't much matter to me.  If one's invested in something, one should sure as heck care about doing it well.  That's advice from John's old site as well as my own.  Regardless, I've done this till I could do it no more.  After 9 years of debate (8th grade onwards), I'm done with debating.  What can replace it in my life, I have yet to discover.  Maybe I'll coach.  But I hope my record speaks for itself.
