My original post to Britdisc was not, in hindsight, worded very well, and I think was a result of the Monday morning blues. I really don't have anything to say in my defence. I do believe in what I said, but I failed to balance it all with the level of organisation that a tourny takes. And of course, since I have never even begun to think of organising my own tourny, who am I to whine? I also find Britdisc is a place where it is easy to come across in a different way that was intended. I deliberately post slightly opinionated stuff on here, just to see what response it gets, but I think I went a bit *too* far this time. The Nationals was great fun, and was well organised (apart from bits, which I should have seen as the more trivial bits), and I did wade into Britdisc without full knowledge of the facts. Next time I'll be more rational and constructive. Andy C
