John, Larry, Jim, Doug, Tim, and Justin,

Congratulations to another fine performance at the WC! You all deserve a
round of applause for doing such a great job competing for the US.

I have not said anything about the whole Junior Team mess, but now that its
all said and done, I feel like I should say a few words about how I feel. It
is important to have junior participation in Indoor for two core reasons: 1)
Perpetuation of the hobby and 2) Education and Inspiration of our youth. To
deny the hobby this right is backwards thinking, to deny children the right
to become educated and inspired is immoral. Participating in the WC is seen
as the pinnacle of our hobby, and to deny a child this right is wrong,
especially if the reason is a financial one. Hopefully the politics involved
here with the AMA will not outweigh the moral and educational values that
need to be upheld. This is the AMA, not the US government...

John, thanks for the awesome photos of Belgrade, the architecture is cool.

-Ben Saks
