This was examples about another subject. Besides, I doubt that a few ticks would change that impression if you have a great improvement.

Why don’t you use the video for the final timing as 99% of other runs are doing. If you did those X seconds faster would be from missing footage. Fair?

It’s like American politics is infecting something that should be a fun pastime activity. I just want you to question yourself this, and this is not being selfish or egotistical, but where would dwahmov be without me? Or better yet, where would we be if we really decided to grind all the ticks we possibly could off?

You don’t have to listen to me. Just mind my points and do whatever you want.
