<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Recently, in the US, the idea that "we are all winners" and everyone should be awarded for participating and trying hard in competive environments has been propagated in many areas.</SPAN></FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"></SPAN></FONT> </DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">There is no doubt that we could easily create enough categories (Jr, Sr, Open, unsponsored, over 60, most improved, etc) such that everyone could be a winner at every pattern contest.</SPAN></FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"></SPAN></FONT> </DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">The take away I saw from the emails from Ed and Matt was pretty simple - pattern competition is just that - competition. And all competitions traditionally recognize the top finisher, or the top 3, or top 10%, with awards/trophies/etc. I'm with Ed and Matt - I like the award system in pattern the way it is, just my opinion. Promoting pattern and encouraging growth/participation are a separate issue with many avenues available outside of awards/trophies/etc, again, just my opinion.</SPAN></FONT></DIV></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="2"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The idea of creating an NSRCA discussion-list, based upon the original Eskimo-list, was to tap into the great pool of pattern knowledge and openly discuss ideas and issues. In particular share technical tips and product news etc. Unfortunately we sometimes slip into the behavior of the poor-taste ads seen these days in political campaigns. I am not immune from making this mistake, and I know how easy it is to fall into the trap.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
