Wow... Just... Wow...
Well, Brandon, I hope you didn't take offense at my comment that you are a hard judge, I did state that I preferred it because I feel the scores are more honest. Makes me feel like I really did something when I get a 9.5 or a 10 from you because I know I earned it (and I have done that a couple of times).
Tuan, I hope all this hasn't soured you on pattern. You did make a good point that you weren't the one who named the contest or the CD or the judges. Also, please understand that Dick's comment regarding the large negative K factors for Louisiana pilots was meant in good fun, and that is certainly the way I took it. Heck, I started it. I guess I must be really good, though, because even with the negative K factors I've managed to take a few trophies home from Texas.
