I don't sit at the trophy banquet and think in my mind "That was a hollow
victory" when the people come up for their jackets as you apparently do. I
try my best to not judge things that I am not familiar with, especially
since I don't have a wall full of nationals trophy's (hollow or not) to
qualify me to judge other classes. I worry about how the rest of CP and CPL
is doing and focus on improving my standings within the class.
