Gee. That was pretty mild for a flame. It sounded like a very reasonable, calm recitation of the facts with the intention of bringing about some reforms next year. I sure hope the BADGE folks get a little better organized next time around. I'm sure you recognize these things happen. People make mistakes. Hopefully nobody will get upset over this and generate megabytes of traffic arguing over who was right. By the nature of the contest there's no way to correct the errors in the handling of your contest entry. If your experience results in a better organized contest next year you'll have gotten all you can hope for. I just wanted to give you some positive feedback because your article was so much more sensible than what we are used to seeing called flames on Usenet. --Fabbian Dufoe 350 Ling-A-Mor Terrace South St. Petersburg, Florida 33705 813-823-2350 UUCP: ...codas!usfvax2!jc3b21!fgd3 ...uunet!pdn!jc3b21!fgd3
