a.h., u might be right, but the stats tell a different story, which is the main point. they say that the numbers r about the same, with a slight edge towards fmgs vs usimgs. i think we're just trying to find out why?

researchingguy has a decent theory, but i think theres more to it. there r many fmgs who r very well educated (probably better than lots of usimgs) in places like the uk, ireland, australia, germany, france, japan and other places. not all fmgs r educated in 2nd rate schools in 3rd world countries, but some are. same thing goes for usimgs. its too bad they lump all usimgs together and they lump all fmgs together coz it doesnt really give the real picture.

researchingguy, the prematch was supposed to end with last yrs match, but it was extended a yr so they can address all the complaints. this match is supposed to be the last yr that its allowed, unless they get another extension or its reversed. the prematch is a great thing for usimgs and will hurt us all if its removed. it seems like it takes too much power away from the match and their lobby groups seem to be winning the battle. but its just another hurldle that we all need to pass on the way to the finish line. just study hard and things should work out
They are killing off the pre-match? I thought that was just rumor?
