RE: down line & up line snaps
wayne, should one day you decide to take on the challenge of a sponsored contest series with six to eight closely spaced contests with five classes, i suspect you will welcome the contribution of qualified help, especially those folks who offer to write unknowns -using the Aresti software, and with a working knowledge of the FAI catalog. if their writing may philosophically differ from your own you make the choice as to whether you do it yourself, or accept the help graciously. who actually wrote the sequence is unimportant, but had that sequence appeared during my stewardship it would have helped build the beliefs that I now hold, but that would in way taint my appreciation of his involvement.
Now...given that you have been involved in imac for some time, do you have something to add to what has been a stimulating discussion?
