Biff, thank you again for "real life" application. I was under the impression
that AMCO was approved, based on the fact that Leo was terribly interested in
getting my white top for Iris. He stated that judges did accept AMCO as a
factory
replacement, yet you say they knock off points. Thus, back to my statement,
there
aren't any "real" rules, just whatever "the judges" deem necessary for their
friends to score gold.
Leo, are you reading this!?
