Some people, like Ding, fear math in all its forms. A trip to the grocer leaves him a gibbering mess. This is why he lives in a state with no local or state income taxes... the "%" sign makes him dizzy.

Other folks prefer to know where they stand when the cross the finish line, not hours later at the party.

Still others are convinced every boat but theirs has a "gift" rating, against which racing is futile.

Seriously - DPN has some problems right now, mostly due to not having been updated by the Committee in two years. Darline Hobock is now in charge again and you will not find a more fair-minded individual. New numbers in the next three months or so - Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
