    In fact, it was tennis equipment manufacturers who invented string, in order to increase their net profits.

    Their devious plan made everyone suddenly “need” the new gear — what a racket!

    No. It was just more of a skill game back then.

    Once again — thanks Marg and Bailey!

    And #6 — not sure what that means but hope it’s not some inane feud.

    One thing I find strange about this website is that stuff.

    That last line is directed at a lot of people, not just No. 6.

    I just don’t get why people here squabble.

    Never date a tennis player. Love means nothing to them….
