That's great. TERRIFIC. I scheduled myself for a trip that weekend
because, of course, the CW Sprint is the weekend of February 15th and I
wanted to be sure I'd be around that weekend to operate it.
I have to say that changing the date of a contest two months beforehand
when the date has been published for quite some time in advance is a
BAD IDEA. We did this with the CW Sprint to avoid Labor Day weekend
once before on short notice and that short-notice date change was
shouted down. I strongly suggest this change be revoked, Tree.
Anyone else ticked off about this?
