Patrick,

Step away from the monkey, leave the monkey alone. After all, I believe that I am the sarrogate father to this monkey. Below you will see one of your posts, the first post in which the monkey appeared. I was overseas and thought that the avatar gave a little personality to the people who were participating in the forum.

"DPloyd4Now, for your entertainment, I've reduced myself to a guitar playing monkey!"

By the way Patrick, I busted my tail finding this quote, but it was worth it. The rabid guitar playing monkey gave me a lot of laughs while I was gone. Please let him continue to exist. I hope that others will join the avatar path.

My last comment is this, and this is the original point of my last post on this subject. Try leaving the sport for a year. Don't go to any practices, or any tournaments. Most of you are as addicted to this sport as some people are to alcohol and tobacco. We are all as rabid as Patrick's monkey at times. Once again Patrick, please don't put the monkey down. He is one of my fondest memories while I was away.
