by the way spawn, this is the game which I was referencing on b2 -- (link) - tRuMaN Jun 6, 10:14 9
- they should take his moon away for 5 kills in any game. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 6, 10:17 2

- There was a period where Nadal wouldn't make it to the finals on surfaces other than clay so they would only ever meet on clay. - Dano Jun 6, 10:27 2
  - I wonder what the stat is if you give a "win" to the player who advanced further in tournaments they both entered. -- nm - Dano Jun 6, 10:30 1
    - that's a fairer evaluation, I would think. - Kim Pine Jun 6, 10:33

  - Federer's won 12 Slams in the time that Nadal's won 10... they are significantly overlapping - Will Hunting Jun 6, 10:19 5
    - I call bs on that. For one, Federer started 5 years prior to Nadal...that's a pretty good gap in tennis. - Jim Jun 6, 10:27 4
      - No question, Federer had a grass advantage...he doesn't any more. - Will Hunting Jun 6, 10:29 3
        
        This is interesting: -- (link) - prayformojo Jun 6, 10:42
        
        I'll give you best clay court player ever...but see Dano's post above for why I still think Federer is the better all around player. - Jim Jun 6, 10:34 1
        
        I'll grant that, which I think has drastically faded in the past 4 years. - Will Hunting Jun 6, 10:40
- I think that if Nadal can play for another 2-4 years, he will be best ever. - Kim Pine Jun 6, 10:11 1
  - (so the short answer is that Nadal has played him at points when Fed was *theoretically* well past his prime. - Kim Pine Jun 6, 10:12
My voicemail message playback includes an option to play messages backwards. Why? -- nm - con_carne Jun 6, 10:01 12
- Does this let you listen to just the end of the message? I would love that. - howie Jun 6, 10:24 1
  - One of my options lets you play the message sped up. That option rules. -- nm - con_carne Jun 6, 10:53
