	I think that a lot of Hams don't get a very simple fact. A  
dilettante such as myself can work in the same contest as the world's  
best operators. How cool is that?

If Baseball or football was this way, we'd have 6 year old Pop Warner  
players lining up against 400 pound pros. It can't work that way, but  
we can.

Level the playing field?  Heck no, I want to hone my skills against  
the best, not make  them as lousy as I am!
