<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I disagree with preparation for international
competition. I fly AMA pattern and have no ambition to ever compete
internationally. I'm happy the AMA pattern has maintained some distinct
differences in rules than FAI. Would I be proud if the USA wins a team gold or
an individual gold at the worlds in Argentina this year? You're darn tootin',
but that's a completely separate type and level of competition, and I prefer
that the AMA maintains a distinct identity in its rules and
sequences.</FONT></DIV>
