Oh, no.

Why ... uh ... no, Jim, we don't think that ... uh, all right, I'm just 
glad you mentioned it first.  Anyway, just wanted to point out your 
fallacy in the previous paragraph.  I watched the Shaw's games that were 
televised; I saw El-Amin.  And I know what you're talking about -- and I 
don't agree.  Please don't make it seem like it's so obvious anyone who 
saw the games will just *have* to agree with you, Jim.  Some of us 
actually think Khalid El-Amin may actually be ... wait for it ... too 
short for the NBA.  And is a defensive liability.  Apparently, many NBA 
GMs feel similarly.  Could be wrong, though.  Personally, I don't mind 
your manic depression, just wish you'd focus on another (read: non-El-Amin)
  topic for a while, but it's your choice, of course.
