These guys are listening to you and they are telling you,in a nice way, that some of your ideas are less than correct and in some cases these ideas have been hashed before.
By all means don't get your dander up and take it personal. Ninety nine % of these pattern flyers give good advice and mean well in their comments. Not one pattern person would like for you to scrape the logos off,me included.
When I was starting Pattern in '98 I was a sponge,I listened,and listened and then some.Even though I have flown models since 1951 I still figured these guys knew more than me,so I absorbed all I could. Just listen to what I am telling you and become a sponge.
There is too much to learn in a short period of time. We all realise you are new to the sport  and can use some good advice and in reading all these posts and that is the gist that I get.

  When someone who actually does start trying to fly Sportsman tries to give input on how to attract more people to Sportsman... the Elitist snobs who are flying Maters would rather nitpick on technicalities than listen to the real issue the relative beginner to the sport is trying to address.

  You ARE Elitists... 

  "Your plane must not be good enough... get a better one" IS NOT the correct response to a beginner to Sportsman saying the new sequence requires more performance than the old sequence.

  You want to attract people... you are certainly doing the EXACT wrong thing.  And when its pointed out... you attack the messenger for telling you about it.

  I'm about ready to scrape the NSRCA logos off my model...
