I'm glad I have not offended. As to your criticism of me, it was well founded. I remember one thread where we disagreed. However, that was before I knew who you were. That was before I realized you had insights I did not. Once I realized your were part of or close to the rules process I changed my opinion. As I have stated in the past, the only way I have to determine the intent of the rules is to read the rule book, case book and attend clinics/camps. I do all of these to improve my understanding of the rules. By the way, I've been to a couple of clinics and camps where you were an instructor. I also come to this web sight to learn from others. So when you mention the intent of the governing body, that holds a lot of weight with me and I have to change my opinion. Its similar to disagreeing with God. One of you is wrong and it aint God.
