http://www.teamusa.org/USA-Table-Tennis ... -Questions I recently was interviewed for the "11 Questions" segment that USATT runs on their website and is linked to in this week's e-mail. Thought it was a pretty cool opportunity for an average player like me to get this kind of recognition!

Since Kanak JHA is so many levells a higher player and there is no realist chance to win or even be competitive, I thought you might have said "Simply have a fun time" or "Spike his drinking water with a little Chlorox"

Very cool Doug! And I guarantee you special treatment if you come to visit our club. You just have to come! Right now would be a good time, low 70s and sunny for the rest of the week.

Matt, that sounds AWESOME! Now, if only I had the money for a vacation right now, I'd be right on it! Der, I thought of giving an answer like that, but since he's still a kid I thought it might come off a bit weird, so I went with more of a straight answer. Maybe help other long pippers out there against similar styles. Reb, I noticed in the last few emails that they sent out that they were re-publishing interviews that they'd done last year. It said that if you were interested in being featured to let them know. I primarily did it as a way to promote our club and our big tournament, the Badger Open. I thought that if the article made the rounds through the table tennis community, maybe more people from outside the area would look into attending the tournament this year. It wasn't all just for the personal glory. Plus, I thought it would be fun, and a good way to recognize some of the guys I've played over the years.
