...in an edit conflict. Perhaps that's an argument for not keeping conversations confined to one page. After all, these days it's easy to keep two windows open. Anyway, yes, I find it hard to imagine how anyone could convincingly argue against your K-Trio examples. Did some jolly impartialist come along and quote statistics, as just happened to me: '19-5 isn't exactly conclusive'? And that in response, I notice, to someone else's figure of 9-1. Still only 1000-0 will do, it seems. Any idiots out there, their views must be respected. [[User:Ro Thorpe|Ro Thorpe]] 20:44, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

In my rebuilt office in Tucson in 2009

I was born in Bangor, Maine, in 1942, and attended Exeter, Stanford, and Harvard. I graduated from Harvard in 1964 as a member of the class of 1963, having majored in English. I then moved to Tahiti, where I lived for 23 years, working as a businessman in various companies that I helped found and as a minor writer of science fiction and mystery stories. In 1988 I returned to the States to live and have been in Tucson, Arizona, since 1994.

My particular interests are old-time tennis (up until about the start of the Open Era in 1968), some branches of mystery stories and science fiction, food and cooking, and an eclectic selection of baseball players and writers and personalities such as Johnny Mize, Evelyn Waugh, John O'Hara, and S.J. Perelman. I originated and wrote a number of lengthy Wikipedia articles, particularly those about Bill Tilden and Pancho Gonzales, as well as many other old-time tennis players and British mystery writers such as Michael Gilbert.
