Hi Karinsdad,
Thanks for your complements - I hope to defend my title this year btw. I guess
you're right about someone being able to avoid post mortems etc., especially if
I think about an up and coming junior (pardon the pun Junior 5 !). By the way I
had an aquaintence in Australia who made a tidy sum by getting a low rating and
then cleaning up many prizes on the US circuit. That kind of behaviour disgusts
me..
regards,
Michael Ginat
