What i read out of this is it is ok, since it only happens of often, or it does not effect me, or everyone should not have to pay more to protect against this, la bla bla.
this is basically a prescription to default on a contest, it will happen again, and again, until something is done, perhaps never effect most, but it will continue to happen.
people are being short sided ed as usual.
the best way, the proper way is not always, perhaps never, the easy way. why are some so willing to toss people by the wayside but not embrace the fact things could and should be better?
I have giveen up, the money is lost, ok, but really i do not see the comrade, the BRETHREN, that i frankly would expect here. frankly, if i continue to compete, and that is a very slim chance it will only be with the organizations i have dealt with and also believe in the mission the are trying to benefit.
i hope no one ever has to go through this, but i hope i would have more compassion and caring than i get from this thread, perhaps kcbs has done so much more for others to elicit this favoritism, to me it is an organization that should look at this as an opportunity to prevent this in the future.
I apologize for the long winded response, chalk it up to buffalo trace, but do not tell me it is cost prohiitive to protect your fellow BRETHREN, or competitors!
Phil, sorry for the rant, thanks for all you do!
