No sir, although that is a clever guess. The B and M stands for Bitch
and Moan, which is what I was doing. I did not actually see any kind of
pattern to those leaving, and did not intend to direct it towards anyone
personally.

I feel that you should work on only the same one or two days you run.
No run = no work = no DSQ's = no problem. :) Like I mentioned in my
post, there may have been (and obviously were) reasons and
pre-arrangements made. I tried to exclude them from my little fit, and
I apologize to anyone who did make the correct arrangements. I did
speak with a some however, and they did not appear to covered by such
arrangements. I'm not trying to be the worker police...I just like
fairplay.

No apology necessary Sam. I had two reasons for posting this: 1) To
re-inforce the AX Golden Rule about working to any and all of our newer
participants. 2) To insure fairplay. I've been DSQ'd for lesser
violations, so I expect equal treatment for all. I'm not complaining in
anyway about anything that happened to me, I just like to see even
handedness at how we apply rules.
You guys did a great job in Peru, and I feel very badly that the weather
threw you a curve in the morning runs. I learned a lot about how to
attack the course in CM by watching you guys. Anyway, sorry if this
sounded like it was directed at you. Guess it's a pet peeve. See you
next year!
Pat
