Here we go again......................   I vote leave ALL the contests 
the way they are....... If we ALL want to win, or level the scoreboard, 
you need to spend the money, have the location, and pay your dues.  
That's why I'LL probably NEVER win... I still enjoy doing it, BUT THAT'S 
THE WAY IT IS......  And this is not a solo personal attack, but due to 
postings of late:  Perhaps a "whining about unfair contesting" reflector 
should start.  Seems like every week, same old stuff.
