Have you even played a single ACF tournament?  Come to think of it,
have you even played in any college quiz bowl tournaments, period? 
After combing through years of results out of curiosity and never
seeing the name Michael Knapp appear in any of them at least one, I
would be interested in knowing what you based that inacurrate potshot
on.  

More importantly I would be interested in knowing why this sort of
verbal diarrhea that borders on spam in its uselessness is seemingly
valued above legitimate discussion and criticism of formats and other
quiz bowl issues on this board, at least based on the fact that I've
noticed far more posts criticising people for doing the latter here
and relatively none for the former.
