GVTucker... In the exact sense of the word a SHORT is defined as you stated. However we all use that term on these threads where it applies to true shorts, bashers, wannabees, and the simple minded, among other descriptions. And yes Scumbria did say he bought a staddle which he later said did not work out for him. Of course that made my day. I have never had a problem with a true short. I do find that a true short lies more than a true long. Being a Short is like shooting craps... you are betting on the "Don't Come Line" which is the opposite of being a Long and betting on "The Come Line". Whatever one's preference is, is OK with me.
