No seriously, good suggestions all around, but poor taste attacking
another Dancing Illini member like this and throwing down the gauntlet by
challenging them to defend themselves. They probably had a good reason for
doing so and save for the other people that went to the competition and
missed out on the ribbons, and felt badly for it, there really was not
much scorn or derision of which I can remember... Besides, what of the
couples that practice regularly, take privates and are hands and
atleast two feet better than the others. Their competing in the so-called
advanced category is also a sham, but it is legally allowed. So it boils
down to what is legally allowed, and if the glove don't fit... Well, you
know the rest. There is no way of unequivocally proving these things and
one therefore believes in the system of honor and lets the offending
person's conscience do the rest....
So let it lie..
And boy Jay, a lot of responses to your email. I can't see how Henry
feels this time for discussion is only worse than when done over
Christmas... I like it my friend, and good job at the helm.
Sriram.
