"IMO RU is supposed to be a "fun" contest (they're all fun, depending on 
your definition) that allows the more casual contester to be competitive 
with the "pros" without  sleep deprivation."

hmmmmm, it's amazing how much my definition of "fun" has changed over the 
years! If, for one second, it is thought that the "casual" contester can 
compete with the "pros", for whatever reason, it is a thought "bordering on 
insanity"! The "pros" are there for their own reasons, and the "casuals" are 
there for their own reasons. Those reasons vary greatly, and as long as they 
are both content, it shouldn't matter what those reasons are?

casual = subject to, resulting from, or occurring by chance

pro = participating for gain in an activity or field of endeavor
