Wait--FF is cool now? When did that happen?? LOL

I can understand if some people are worried about kids disturbing the "serious" competitors. I'm not gonna lie, I prefer quiet & concentration to a playground anyday. However, if competitors are worried about declining participation & death of the hobby, they should not organize an event to be a Gentleman's Club-- especially one as high-profile as USIC. Glad to see the organizers these days are more open to accomodating the kids.
