AMA Magazine Article - the paragraph

[Tomanek, Wojtek]

I think as the IMAC competition level has been increasing they are getting
more serious about the "precision" part of flying, and it is not just pure
fun any more for them.   Give them several years and they will be serious
about flying "straight and level" too.

	The question still stands. Are we that bad now or have we got
better?

	The answer determines your next personal action. 

	I'll tell you now that I have found IMAC contests to be less tense
and the
	folks tended to be more gregarious. The only grief I have had from
IMAC is
	over the noise level proposals that my wife signed.

	I will say that I could print anti-IMAC letters etc in my column,
but so far
	I have not had any!!!

	It's not an either/or situation.

	Yes, the allegation, if true, indicates that some of us
	may not be too hospitable to a newcomer during a contest.

	The publication of the allegation as a generalization is
	stereotyping.  It is an offense in its own right.
	"Pattern guys--self-centered and inhospitable; IMAC
	guys--good."

	In the 1980s, I rode my bike onto an RC field in 
	the vicinity of D.C.  The guys cussed at me in no
	uncertain terms for endangering myself.  They
	were surly and rude.  They answered my questions
	about the hobby in monosyllables, if at all.

	I made two decisions that day.  One was to get into
	the hobby when I finished my Ph.D.  The other was
	to greet newcomers with an extended hand and a smile.
	I've kept both resolutions.
