Can you send a little of that global warming my way? I am getting real tired
of shoveling snow.

Global warming must figure in here too somewhere :)

(IMAC), but if you really can't compete, and have no chance of improving to
a point where you can, then maybe you don't belong there, unless you just
enjoy the pure challenge of it, but then these people are not complaining.

class, then how can it EVER be too hard? By placing limits on sequence
creation for this class, you are by default saying it IS a stepping stone to
FAI, and as a result NOT a destination class.
