You gotta admire Goodrum. If he gets any leverage from anyone he uses it to his advantage.
Look fellas, don't discourage Melvin from competing. He is going to win a contest somewhere, somehow. That much is likely. Just where that contest is and what division only Melvin knows. He will be there next year in the Juniors again. He is a long way from open competition but he sure loves open discussion boards. In his own mind, Melvin has the goods and knowledge to show us losers what a real effort and intelligence can achieve. Go, Melvin!
