a dedicated correspondence investigator has to take the good with the not so good. So, are u willing to bunk with some of the tomboys as well to get the juicy rumors and inside info

Ahem! I believe CUTIES precludes tomboys. Oooohhh noooo, I ain't going anywhere near those types. I'm strictly a cutie correspondent.

Anyway, I had digressed enough. Back to the topic, I say.

The number is just an example to show my point.

Unless he's CHN team staff member, who stays, communicates and talks with the other coaches and players on a daily basis, all his information can only be considered as "little pieces" when you count the big picture.

Let me put this way, say you work in a small company of 25 ppl. Your guys talk, work, eat or even "fight"

every day here and there for years. Even like that, can you claim that you know every single one inside out? Can you identify everyone's personality to a very accurate basis? I really doubt it. Maybe for a few very closed ones, the rest, well, just lil pieces of information here and there.

So, if staying with a group on daily basis for years, do not have such ability, I really wonder what "HauGe" can do with he's much more limited interaction with CHN team, even though, his meeting time can be more quality than most of us.

Let me put my example to a simple one. Interacting with the professionals, is like discussing college calculus. Yeah, I am at elementry school grade 1, while "HauGe" might at grade 5. Compare to me, he's much better. However, compare to the real picture, we are all "too little to know anything".
