I thought I did give reasons. But, as is normal, I probably did a bad job of it. I so seldom disagree with Tom, that I probably didn't make myself clear, again. Just because I have a different take on some idea, does not mean I disagree. I often see other sides of things, and try to express that. I may even agree, but feel there is something else to consider. If I disagree, I usually start by saying that. If I just want to express an opinion, I do so, and ask for responses. I often do not know the answers, and there are times when I don't even know the questions. But, I do like the Reserves at the National. After all, I was who brought it up to the Futurity Committee. The one not accepted so far is that I want four Futurity placings at the national now, since the class is 18. I have not been able to convince anyone of that. When Ben was in the Maturity the judge counted off 1st. R-Man, 2nd Illuminator, and 3rd. Ben. I don't remember who was fourth. I loved it, even if I didn't get a third place ribbon. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
