Someone New, Please

So, there is another great interview inside the awesome slickie pages of Billiards Digest! Johnny Archer is the star of this great article - from how he started playing to being inducted into the Hall of Fame.

I have read the author's articles in Billiards Digest for the last ten years - he is a great interviewer that turns articles into fascinating story's about the life of the player he is showcasing; he always does a jam-up job with interviews/articles and he is a true blessing to the pool community.

However, I am really very tired of seeing Charlie Williams' comments in the pieces. One reason the articles are so interesting is because the author adds quotes from other players about the "subject matter" player. These quotes showcase the players and provide an insight and opinions from their peers, so they really add to the articles well. Nick Varner was also quoted in this Johnny Archer article and Varner's comments are very well-received and add substantially to it. However, please stop using Charlie in the articles; we need comments from a different player - great players, other players, more interesting players.
