No problems, here, Buckeye. If I lived in Ohio .... "I" might not want to even the playing field out anymore, either.

"Agenda"? I'll bow out of the contest if it'll make you feel better (about my 'perceived' "agenda"). It's STILL a valid idea.

One rule change already implemented for next year is the posting of the string of measurements that add up to the total inches score. I'm sure this isn't the ONLY change that's occurred over the years, either. So.....it's likely evolved through the years.

My suggestion was not a complaint. It was being discussed EXTREMELY diplomatically until about the time you entered the mix. Sorry to ruffle your feathers.
