*I agree this isn't a good thing on any level and "personally" don't care to
see rule changes that aren't SAFETY related(then again I'm still very green
in this sport and am trying to learn how the oldtimers have worked thru
things like this over the years). On the other hand(like i tell those in my

there and overcome any odds thrown at them, from those that complain about
defiencies instead of taking care of them.

I'm with ya there.... I look at it like this, if there's things I'd like to

my thoughts in a professional manner.2
