Here we go again, trying to shift the slope of the playing field with a
pair of supercharged whatevers..Personally, I would have considerably more
respect for the guy in Missouri than the guy in Arizona if I knew Missouri
was running the race with the same number of cylinders as everybody else.
And only a few dozen of the top contesters are...the rest of us stick to our
good ole Chevys and Fords cuz that's all ordinary mortals can afford or
handle. But when we get beat by KM9P or KR0Y or K6LL or whoever, I don't
recall any of US bitching about their unfair playing fields or toys
compared to ours!
Bill, you win the contest using the same stuff mortals do, you'll reap the
praise and admiration of the world. You use stuff few others have access
to, you put yourself off on a pedestal all by your lonesome. And you
degrade your own image in the eyes of everybody else.
