Sean -

Thanks for trying to malign my manhood by insinuating I'd cry or do
something "less than manly" if I didn't win. I'm sure that earns you a
lot of respect around the water-cooler.

I never stated that I would "run off" if I didn't do well initially.
My comments were all about PERCEPTION and HUMAN NATURE, _before_
entering the contest scene. It had nothing to do with the actual
results.

I encourage you to re-read my posts and actually take time to
understand the meaning of the words. Then, if you want to try to
insult me more, please feel free.

Thanks!

--Noel

But should new pilots expect to do well immediately and if somehow they can't compete initially (as in they are a new contest pilot) run off *screaming "you meanies" while in tears?

If that's the environment we must provide to get new pilots into the sport we might as well go back to the participation certificate and no
scoring conversation.

It has nothing to do with how well he does. *My concern is the unrealistic expectation and what he would do (run off) if he did not meet his expectation of being competitive out of the box.
