I feel it should be a matter of personal ethics that people not vote in the venues inwhich they have no knowledge of the qualifications of the people for whom they are voting. I would not presume to vote for a rally or an agility judge because Ido not know who best knows those performance events. I would hope that a personwith no experience in conformation would have the courtesy to recuse himselffrom voting for a conformation judge. I realize everyone has the right to vote inevery venue; however, often it is a matter of sensibility ( or simple honesty ). Carolyn --- On Mon, 11/8/10, R.
