Not to be a wet blanket - BUT - the efforts being shared here are all
well and good but I've seen the same thing so many times in other
disciplines - let's make an entry level event. You make it and then
don't put any restrictions on it (which is quite hard to do) - then the
"old" guys start playing with it and off it goes AGAIN ! Not to be a wet
blanket but unless you limit the event the "old" guys will always
dominate, no matter how simple or hard you make it. I'm not against
entry level events (I consider myself barely above entry level, compared
to most of you) but have found over the years that they usually go the
same route as what you all have described for LPP and other events - As
we "old" guys like to say "The cream always rises to the top". (Get one
of the "old" guys to explain that one to you if you don't understand
<G>).
