[NSRCA-discussion] Fact............

[Ron Van Putte]

If you want to experience a very disappointing visit, go to AMA and  
ask to see where all the results are that contest directors are  
required to submit.  They barely even have results from the Nats.  Go  
back a few years and even they will not be there.
