Sally, For me it would be a privilege to judge their show not consider it work under any conditions. Decorum was a poor choice of words on my part. A kind of possession of dignity maybe. I attended a specialty show where a judge who had judged the National and drawn a big entry was conducting a conversation within earshot of more than one person how drunk he had gotten at the bar in his hotel last night. He was obviously hung over. During the show he referred to some by their first name and was more familiar with some than others. Shows should be fun and I like a judge with personality but behavior as I've described turns me off.
