You got it.
LRK, I'm sorry that I wrote in a way that gave you the idea that I despise the quad. I certainly don't despise the quad, and I never meant to give that impression. I think there's a big gray area between despising it and thinking it is everything, and I stand pretty firmly in the middle - I can take it or leave it. Heck, Max is one of my favourites and that is largely because I admire his jumps and his speed.
Well, the quad matters to me - a lot. I'm definitely pro-quad. And I'm a Plushy uber, and I was devastated at Vancouver, so...
I'm sure you did not mean to insult me personally, or anything. That's just it. I don't like labels. I just wanted you to think a little before you started dividing up people into camps along "Them" Versus "Us" lines. I've seen too much of that around. And if you make up categories based on - well, I hope you don't mind my saying - caricatures, you don't know just whom you may end up putting into that group. Groups are made up of individuals - and they may have a whole range of differentiated spectrums of opinions.
Also, I've never seen anyone - EVER -say that the quad is "everything" - or "all" that matters. If you do, point me to it, as I'd like to see that unicorn.
Also, talking of labels - Jason has "The Artist" label, which is actually the more fortunate to have, than the "Just a Jumper" one. "The Artist" will have good PCS - and he can always up his tech content. "Just the Jumper" however, is always going to have (relatively) low PCS - it won't matter much what he actually does on the ice.
