Derek, I think I pointed out pretty clearly that I never said you were deluded. If you cannot grasp that, I can't help you.

Most everything can be seen as an insult, if you're looking for it. Evidently you are.

Spelling a persons name correctly is a sign of courtesy and respect. You'll notice I make an effort to do so in every case. In your case as well. The point I was making there is that there are a few who will show no one the courtesy and respect if they are not in lock step agreement. Regardless of how much I disagree with Jim, Art, Jack, or even Ed, I at least show them the respect of spelling their name correctly.

Oh, and I already took responsibility for not understanding Jack.

I got your point about other classes, too. It is still very obvious that you think that it is okay to tell them not to show up. And there's a distinct difference between what you are proposing and the new rule. You are talking about reviewing someone else's class, and cutting someone else's quota (review other classes has no other implication). The new rule for Stock and Super Stock actually says that now more than ever, if you're coming to Indy, bring your A game and be fast. It does NOT cut the quota of either class, the quota for Stock and Super Stock remain the same.

I do actually agree with you that the rule change wasn't really a priority, and could have, probably should have, waited until 2009 to go into effect. I do think it is a little too close to Indy for this rule change to have been implemented.
