In Response To: too much emphasis on rankings and ratings (Ken Larsen)

I agree with Phil.....even if he did sound drunk while saying it :) everyone who plays backgammon seriously knows who the best players are already, from PR and tourney wins. I don't see why obsessing over an incredibly accurate list of rankings is going to "boost backgammon" and impress someone who doesn't really know what they're looking at (e.g. Sponsors or new players). Oh right yeah this guy michy is no.2 and not far off mochy in no.1, and hey look some dude from Denmark whose name I can't pronounce is nearly in the top 10. Wooooo. Where can I buy a board asap....
