Paul,
Shucks, you got me.

Actually it was/is a secret conspiracy and I was just trying to hide that, but you were too clever. HQ keeps track of anyone that has posted trash about them all year on any of the forums, was rude or that sent argumentative emails to HQ. HQ has unlimited time to read all the dozens of places on the internet that talk about IDPA and have almost 20 people assigned full time to this task alone. Each post from every forum is transferred to a huge server farm underground of Wilson Combat. Hundreds of high performance computer servers running Linux/Apache with dozens of RAID disks each. There are so many computers down there, that they had to move the Roswell bodies to another facility. Then those posts are automatically mined for negativity among other things. And if someone posted anything slightly negative in the last 365 days, out they go. It never was points, that was just a clever cover story, and most people bought it, two years in a row. Even the apology was faked.


  
Dude....that is so funny!!  You have a future in standup or politics...they are about the same anyway.

I really am over it. I found other things to do with the money that I would have spent at nationals.

If you ever want to see a match that is well run and well organized look at anything organized by Phil Strader. He was right there working like a dog and treated everyone with the utmost respect.

I did get some enjoyment from the sanctioned matches but that does not take away the fact that I shot them to get points. I wanted enough points so that I would be sure and get into the nationals so I could get a match bump!

Enjoy your IDPA Kool-Aid

Paul...the guy that never remembers to sign his posts
