Paul, Jennifer, and anyone else who is tempted to join in this "contest":
DON'T DO IT!
It doesn't help ANYONE to get into an "I play worse than you"
contest! Everyone has strengths and weaknesses; some of us have more or

and ALL of us have room for improvement!
Don't worry about how you sound now; just work on it and enjoy it!
