Boy we have even woke Mark up, I like the list better when people are talking about things. I has been far too quiet of late. As for Bill's posts I enjoy reading what you post except the CA stuff. Keep up the good work, we need to keep this list alive and useful for everyone from beginners to world champions.
Speaking of experts where is Kagan these days we miss your wisdom John.

  though we don't always think it runs fast enough on our flights and
  much to fast on our competitors. My goal is always to spend as much
  time getting to the ceiling as I can, 10 to 12 minutes with a F1D in
  cat 1 sites and at least 1 to 1.5 minutes with a Wright stuff type of
  plane this will shorten the time at the top and reduce the chance of
  bouncing into the walls after a ceiling hit or worse, a hang up.

  This is why Bill had 2 grams of rubber and not a lower amount.

  What he said. (pointing, smiling.)

  Armchair theories are sometimes fun to talk about and maybe try, but
  not when presented in a tone such as, "Here's what YOU should do
  (Bill) for higher times." The issue in question has been worked out
  for 50-75 years, probably including VP effect.
