I used to think different, but now I see that on windy days, the weight rules favor glow, but on calm days, they favor E.. <br>The weight rule is silly in the first place. No one will want to be too heavy regardless of what the rules are. It should just go away, or go up to whatever glow can take off at. <br><br>New technology brings new rules. Just the way life is. <br><br><div><strong><em><font color="#0000bf" face="comic sans ms" size="3">Chris </font></em></strong></div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div> </div><br><br>--- On <b>Mon, 2/9/09, Atwood, Mark <i><atwoodm@paragon-inc.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;">From: Atwood, Mark <atwoodm@paragon-inc.com><br>Subject: Re: [NSRCA-discussion] Electric/IC ...was Arming

ruins almost every game, every sport. If eliminates the<br>ability to plan. It limits product selection because manufacturers are even<br>LESS sure of the market.
