[SUSPECT-HEADER] - Re: Adjustable stab weight - Character set not allowed (n/a)

[Rock, Charles]

Well here is another example of the results of the fox designing the chicken coop! Don Ramsey knew exactly what he had to do to become the top ranked judge as did Ron V., Derek K., and Eric H., need I tell you who all were involved making the judges ranking system?? THIS PISSES ME OFF...The "Haves" get all the beanies, and we pay their way too, most likely..Another NSRCA moment!! Charlie
