I agree that others do it, and feel slimy.  I did, and
I did.  I stopped.

The class can become reinvigorated simply by treating
Rovers as equals.  We must stop applying a handicap
(the golf term) to their score.  They are better than
that.  They deserve to be gauged on the same scale
that everyone else is.  That is the key.

Creating another category is problematic on other
levels.  The logical conclusion of such a strategy is
that Rovers will feel empowered to continue working
each other at the exclusion of anyone
else...effectively reducing the number of them that
will be logged by others.  That would be sad.
