Pete, we are on the same page but disconnected.

I see where you are coming from as I'm sure many share your opinion. But, I'm not going say I like a specific aspect of a championship selection process when I don't. I also recognize that's it's the best solution available and I can accept that, that doesn't mean I have to like it.

To imply that I don't promote our area qualifier, that's a bit unfair don't you think?

Besides the 'sucks' comment was a bit of a joke and I thought the apology to Mark S. would have made that clear. No I don't like open class sailing but it doesn't keep me up at night either and yes, I've been known to race open from time to time.

Go to your area qualifier have a good time, and if you're so inclined kick me in the nuts in person, it really is more fun that way.
