The MAN article itself is actually quite well written and doesn't amount to rumor-mongering. In it, the author argues that the BOM rule should be updated to a ''51% rule'' to take into account changes in kit manufacturing.

Thanks abufletcher.
it is true this is a very sensitive issue and my intent in posting the link here was to offer up the 51% solution for discussion... I think we all agree that " ill will " does drive a lot of the infighting, and I know personally modelers who have been labled "cheaters" who did not deserve this insult. But nevertheless, have stopped competiting because of it. Love to hear others comments on the topic as spelled out in the original article.
thanks
