[Jacob-list] Judges

[Boxalls]

We don't do shows, gotta give the others a chance:) No, but really, just not 
my thing, I have neither the time not inclination, but I do object to 
ignorance in an "official". You just have to wonder how they get the 
position. It's not just that people don't know something. We can't all know 
everything. But if you take on a position of responsiblity then you should 
know, or should make the effort to know, the basics of what you'll be 
dealing with. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard a TV environment 
"expert" telling people that for best green and efficiency only water your 
lawn early a.m. Stupid man. To save water, don't water your lawn - period, 
it'll be far greener that way, as it'll put roots down deeper. Scares me, 
these people get into power sometimes.
