<DIV>Bobby, I musta missed something. Is someone actually proposing that another
class be added? I am with you on this one. Another class not only isn't required
it is ill advised.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There's nothing wrong with the current Sportsman. It's an introductory
class and serves that function well.</DIV>
<DIV>The move from Sportsman to Intermediate is a little wide true, but another
class will not solve this issue; rather a slight adjustment to the Int. can make
the transition a little easier. This is the class where learning of fundamentals
of Pattern are initiated.</DIV>
<DIV>The move to Advanced is a little larger but still not that bad. Again
slight adjustment here will help. Advanced should be a "fundamentals honing"
class.</DIV>
<DIV>The move from Advanced to Masters is pitifully simple.</DIV>
<DIV>The move from Masters to F3A is also pretty simple.0</DIV>

time we have a rules change/cycle pending, and we start discussing what to
do....SOMEBODY says "Add another Class".<BR>It is obvious that I am the only
person who sees how incredibly dis-serving this would be...no one else has
spoken up!!!<BR><BR>The main reason that "extra classes" get suggested, is
because we have never had the chutzpa to get together in real consensus and
build the class transistions properly. I remember when Verne had his
set. I remember when we had a couple of pretty good schdules set up a
few cycles back...BOOM. Blown up because WE - not anyone else - cannot
get our act together in dealing with the core issues.<BR><BR>If we decide we
need another entry class, then it should be crystal clear that there is
something WRONG with the Sportsman sequence, and that has happened because we
had to make Intermediate more difficult so there wouldn't be this chasm to
leap into Advanced, which we made more difficult because of the HUGE-er chasm
into Masters!!!!!<BR><BR>DOES NO ONE ELSE - REALLY - SEE this but ME
?????<BR>Ya'll gotta tell me, because if I am an "Army of One", I'll just go
away, and let ya'll figger out fer yerselves.<BR><BR>SOMEBODY tell
me.....straight up!!!<BR><BR>BOb Pastorello<BR>(Having a MONDAY at the salt
