My sister was a prodigy at Monopoly.

Only years later did she confess she would steal money from the bank.

I thought that GO might produce child prodigies but was unaware
so now there are four fields which have produced child prodigies
music
mathematics
chess
GO

So your argument this time is that you are saying Ghost's post is redundant with too much information.

YOU are telling others to post less?!?

Telling others what to do is his "raison d'etre".

I was prodigious at putting things on top of other things from the age of 6 onwards. The late, great Arthur Ramsbottom said we would never see the like of my ilk again. And how right he was! Despite earning international recognition I flamed out before I reached 10. I peaked aged 7 and three quarters.

Still got my memories though. I'll always have them.

It's never too late. Try putting a glass of beer on top of a table and work up from there.

I no longer have my putting things on top of other things frame that served me so well back then. I'm more likely to drink the glass of beer now! I still dabble though, out of sentimentality.
