Brian, you are making yourself feel left out. The question was open to anyone (hence why it is on the forum), but I was particularly most interested in the *best* point pressing techniques on the hideout versus just running through them. Since I already knew Mark and George used this technique and that you do not, does it not make most sense to ask them first? Obviously, if Dean or someone else had piped in with a reasoned explanation that would be acceptable as well. There's no reason to have a pity party about a question being very reasonably aimed at the (likely) two most qualified players (though I was sure others were qualified to answer it as well). You don't see Dean whining about not being directly asked, do you?
In the end, just answer what you think you can help out on. Over time people will notice this and give respect where it is due. Complaining about not already having enough respect isn't a better alternative imho.
