"You did not come across as abrasive more like you were rambling all over the place. "

Not sure what you are talking about there, just combined all the excuses I`ve heard over the years But, Just to be Clear,
The Statement "Johnny come lately" I was not reffering to you, But to Electric Power as a relitive new entry into pattern competition.
I commend you for your building skills Please continue and design something again, we need more designers ,,you can even put a little horn on the front if you want (to TOOT it we don`t mind!

Looking back at your core aurgument ,I can almost be persuaded to jump in line, But the rules were in place before Electric came to play, it`s very hard to take something away, ( rules) that would be a big game changer for glow power. However even so , Glow guys would now be at a slight disadvantage. if Electric were allowed to weigh with no batteries ,,so I`m on the fence.
But I will play the game however it`s decided. I don`t think any changes are looming.

The big picture.
Mike Ramel, I think ,is the father of electric Pattern so to speak, if he is not pushing for it, then the E guys are in trouble!

Grant, I will not take your money, May be a supper,, But I think you might should share the bet with the rest
