<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Bob's answer is a reasonable enough position
on an untenable application of the rules for the roller. But why
not then apply the same reasoning to other maneuvers as well - forget the
distance verbiage and rely on visibility? Am I the only one concerned that
Bob Skinner (well intentioned as he may be, and with all due respect) seems to
have become the czar of F3A rules interpretation? There is a CIAM F3A
Subcommittee (of which Bob is chair) that should be addressing these issues and
fixing the wording of the rules, rather than allowing one person to make
the calls.</FONT></DIV>
