To be clear, my comment pertained to reading others' comments, not necessarily replying to them.

I would also like to stress that, while I am not sympathetic to thomblake's comment (I could hardly be expected to be, since he effectively labeled a comment of mine "nonsense"), I have not voiced any complaint about the underlying subject (proof of minicamp effectiveness), and should not be confused with Silas. (This isn't to say that I don't think he has a point also; but I emphatically do not consider myself to have participated in any "trolling".)

I entered the discussion because of the "Olympus" issue, which I had noticed in other contexts and had considered bringing up before. (Evidently I am not the only one, because my comment on the matter has -- against all expectations of mine -- been voted up into the 20s.)
