Yeah, yeah, I was sort of toying with the idea of spinning in a flipper question when he was posting on the Training and Sickness forum about how many TdF stage winners, Olympic gold medallists, and World Cup winners in any sport he had coached... just to give his posts a bit of extra authority (subject to appropriate answers, of course).

Had second thoughts when I thunk it might have inflamed things a bit (or scared him off), and his biggest fan on these fora would have come down on me, hard.
