You know, i used to view it the same way as you young kids.
why bother right?
thing is, once you go to a couple of tournaments,
guess what? you meet this community.
literally, i haven't met any of you new kids,
but i'm sure i'll stumble into you folks if you go to a tournament
on the east coast.
it's why i no longer really have an issue with posting a picture
of me here or there. if we're both at the same tournament,
chances are you're goin to see me anyhow. so in the end,
whether it's here in this thread or at a tourney, it doesn't really matter.
unless you don't go to tournaments or have no interest in tourneys...
then your paranoia is completely valid.
meh.
