I hope you aren't too insulted by this Charlie, but you've summed up two of my pet peeves rather well; I'm 100% with you on this. :-) Some of my fondest memories was losing in tennis to my dad, who use to be the local club champ in his youth...and kept on remembering his game as I got older and better. My mother suggested that my dad let me win occasionally, and we were both horrified by the though. It's OK to lose, its OK to admit a mistake.
