I don't think we as a community exaggerate when it comes to specs... but as to our abilities? Hmmm... I'd have to politely disagree with Davidmil on that one and agree with Sylvan -- especially after reading the "How big are your groups?" thread a few days back...
If we're not prone to a little good-natured exaggeration, I'd suggest the next Olympic committe cancel its next session of try-outs; they need look no further than here!
