Hear, Hear!!! Just like the English do in Parliament...a lot more fun to watch than C-span! It isn't political, it is an emotional response to seeing something of great beauty that you know someone worked very hard to present to all in attendance...oh, and the judge too. I clapped so much during Specials that my palms got bruised. We clap at the sheep shows too : ) The NAILE last month had an entry of 5000. Not bad.
