2handedvolcano,
We are a family here, although sometimes we're more dysfunctional than otherwise. Many of us are trying to be patient as you ask questions, even when the question seems silly, because we hope you're sincere when you ask.
We are all very different, EXCEPT that we all seem to love bowling, so we can accept each other with all of our other differences. Sometimes we tease each other, other times we can be of great support and help each other immensely, whether it be breaking out of a slump, or even with some of life's other challenges.
You don't need to brag about your accomplishments in order to be accepted here. Just be you. We, in turn, will try to bring you along and give you the benefit of our years and years of bowling experience IF you will listen and try to understand us too.
Frankly, if we were in your league, and we knew that talking loudly might get you off your "A Game", we might just "chime in" also, whether it be because it bothers you, or because we'd probably do it to each other on occasion just having fun.
If it seems that we think you're weird, that's okay. I'm certain that there are people that think I'm weird, too (Don't answer that!). Just take the good advice when it's given and try to apply it to your game.
If we were all the same this world would be a boring place. Accept us with our faults and qualities and we will try to understand you better, too. Now let's all join hands and sing KUMBAYAH... (Okay let's just imagine that. I do not want to hear any of you sing.)
