<DIV>wow... folks go crazy when a judge holds up a pencil as a reference for a straight or vertical line-- Can't wait to hear the response to this! </DIV>
<DIV>to my way of thinking, anything that helps the judge be CORRECT has to be better than judging the pilot's errors in geometry through the filter of the judge's misconceptions about geometry... there IS an absolute standard here - </DIV>
<DIV>go for it! </DIV>
