Wow! Very surprising..... most of us are thinking alike.

Now, will the people in charge of the rule-making actually listen and cool
it?

Interesting point raised about turbo's vs Self Launchers and the 25 point
airfield landing bonus.

If I was low over an airfield with the lift shot to hell my first thought
would be "how much further would I have to go before starting the engine to
nullify the 25 point bonus loss and still not have to drag a crew along?".
Making the turbo land for the 25 points is a counter safety rule! I'd
consider pushing out along track and risking a low start to get around that
one and I consider my competition decision making as "conservative".

No, they have simply "optimized" the SRA website for users of Internet
Explorer. Users of other browsers are obviously not serious about
sailplane racing, and should go elsewhere...

The W3C page validator at http://validator.w3.org/ complains about
every line in it. It's such a simple page, I'm guessing they didn't do
anything fancy, but just got some critical item non-standard, and
that's why Netscape 7.1 can't get the menus to work.

The menus aren't even needed, as everything could be listed on one
page in table form.

It works for me.

When viewing the code, I see a mixture of JAVA, layer based pull-down menus
and XML.

I attempted to use this approach on my website. I abandoned the idea when
my regular visitors complained. Standard table based html has never
precipitated inaccessibility complaints.

For the folks having trouble getting the 2003 Pilot Poll results on the SRA
website, it will be posted on the SSA website as soon as it is feasible to
do so. Currently, the SSA is unable to make it available.

Meanwhile, I will send it as an attachment on an email if individuals will
contact me.
