There are always people who figure it's their job to impose their 
standards on you, Tyler.  It's your run freq, you can use it as you 
wish.  If he can't understand you, he can call someone else.  There are 
a very few who deliberately attempt to slow you down.  Years ago, we had 
the "Interrogator."  He'd call you, tell you he wasn't aware of a 
contest, which one is it? Then engage you in a question/answer cycle of 
how does he give you an exchange.  Congratulations on a great score.
