Understand your point John. My thought was that even if USSA were to say no to a suggestion like the one I made (and formally minute it), at least it would put very clearly out in the open the fact that they know what the regulations are and that they are making an explicit, willful decision to circumvent them. I'm just in favor of transparency. I'd like us to be able to say to them (figuratively speaking) that we know exactly what you're doing (ignoring regulations designed for the good of the sport as a whole in order to advance narrow national interests) and we know that you know that we know what you're doing <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.
