They don't bother to do even that any more. In the case of Hiarcs -- we do have an interest in competing in the future. However, this year didn't work out for a number of reasons. It was considered and decided against in late September. Post 7.32, Mark took a few rests from development as length in time between 7.32 and 8 would suggest. Expect to see Hiarcs competing reguarly again soon. -elc. <snip>
