   Does anyone do their own editing ?
   I, too, can be obcessive…But, I wonder , to what end ?
   I do my own, most of the time is spend organizing…local, school district, county, state and federal…A bit too much in my opinion.
   One of these days, it will be simplified…only ONE taxing authority and the same form …year after year…and the politicians to leave it alone !

   Actually, I believe what Ima meant was most brackets are void after the first round, unless your goal was only to pick the winner of the whole tournament. You would have to guess the outcome of all 32 games correctly for the bracket to survive the first round. In a few offices I’ve worked in, the prize had to be awarded to the bracket that chose the most wins, since none of us chose the winning team.
   I don’t follow college sports, so mine is always pretty random. I always pick Gonzaga to win it all just because it’s fun to say.

   Would that the common citizen was so obsessed with tracking what his or her elected officials were doing!

   lol… he reminded me of an old math teacher joke

   1 plus 1 equals 2 no matter how small/large a value of 1.

   That gives it a lot more credit than it deserves.

   @David

   The limit (as 1 approaches 2) of 1+ 1 = 4

   even funnier! thanks for the update to the joke. From what I’ve seen here I think they teach it that way in “Intelligent Design” type schools.

   It doesn’t matter how hard I work with my students, every term about half of them are below the class average.

    Not so! 1 only approaches 1.5, after which it is 2, so the limit of 1 + 1 is 3.

    “It doesn’t matter how hard I work with my students, every term about half of them are below the class average.” Damn that Bell Curve. I bet it’s gratifying to know your students Bell Curve kicks other student’s Bell Curves tuchuses.

    It gets worse. As Stephen Wright points out: Half the people you know are below average.

    Half of the time, I’m below average. For me, anyway.
