<DIV><BR></DIV><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>I understand..and there is SO
MUCH at stake. Some guy, 81 years old on his death bed says, my life was
great except for in 2003 when I should have won that pattern district 36
championship.....I was robbed by a flyin' CD. Any CD who can fly and put
on a contest I say great. It takes alot of work for a CD and all they get is
the CLAP at the end of a contest. </FONT> <BR><FONT face=sans-serif
size=2>I guess I really do not understand this situation. What I do know is
that except for a few, this is a hobby. This is supposed to be fun and no
doubt there will always be cry babies....when my 8 year old daughter says "Its
Not Fair" I do not always listen then either. Just because she says it does
not mean it is true, and if it is you sometimes have to say ...so
what!!</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Thanks to the guys who
become CD's. If you want to fly okay with me and I would say ignore the
others or threaten to cancel the contest.....Then what would they say??
If I were a CD I would not fly do to the work load, but some have got it
down and can handle it. ANY contest is better than none at all...</FONT>
