Good to hear this from Ken. Glad to hear also that the SSA did not
censor the reports. The question is: Who pulled down the previous day
reports from the SSA site?


Oh, never mind. I spoke too soon. Tim Taylor's post in the original
thread clears that up.


Thanks


I personally removed the reports from the SSA Official Contest site
after *ALL* the contest management folks agreed to the action. *We
discussed and understood the risk associated with this action.


Ron Gleason
15 Meter Nationals Scorer and Logan contest ground coordinator etc


So Ron, the section of Frank's report that the management found
objectionable has been pointed out....... but why it was thought to be
unacceptable has not been clearly defined or explained. That would
help us better understand the reason and possibly (or not) agree with
the decision. Personally, I think Frank breathes a lot of fresh air
into contest reports without resorting to "How many words can I write"
tactics.

I believe that the decision process and reasoning behind the decision
was clearly spelled out by Tim Taylor's post. at

I too enjoy reading Frank's reports however he was not asked nor
designated to be the 'contest reporter' and post on the official SSA
contest site. We have continued to encourage Frank to document his
experiences and let us know where the reports are so we can include
links on the SSA contest site.

Gary and Walt, I am sure we can debate this till our fingers fall off
so I am categorizing this as we can agree to disagree.

One day left of the 15 Meter Nationals, the scores are close and I am
looking forward to seeing the race won in the air today! BTW Frank is
in 2nd place going into the last day!

Of course Gleason all of you decide on practice day to tell TA not to
report on the SSA site rather than wait until day 5 or 6 as only one
of lower class would do. Good thing TT gave you his good advice to
avoid the obvious and bring about the possibilities of the Logan staff
appearing.....shallow.
Take a long hard look at the 'results and report' page on the SSA site
boys.
5 maybe 6 days missing from the report side,at the 15M Nationals.
A volunteer .... just trying to do his part. Like the two of you.
Thanks

Frank, you come on down south to Cordele and write all you want, what
you want. How the lightning bolts and thunder made you believe the CD
was crazy. How I got lucky the first two days and lawn darted all the
rest. You take what is and make a story. No boys....down south we
don't censor....we just make more sweet tea.

Hold on here now!!!! When the Contest Manager asks Frank to be the
'contest reporter' and post his comments on the official site, that
pretty well settles the issue in my mind.
