lksteve,
My apologies. I wasn't trying to make any blanket statements about us shorter guys (I'm 5-8 myself). It's just a mentality I've run into before on a few different occasions. In the end, it's just a person overcompensating for their own insecurity, and certainly does not apply to everyone of said stature.
Respectfully,
Aric
