Jessica has succeeded under conditions twice or three times rougher than
those moderate conditions that sank "Red Cloud."

I think I can safely say she's twice or three times the sailor Joe is.
Why, she might even be in my league.



I think your predictions are pretty good, although I don't think we will
see it anytime soon. I
think you are right on that score.

But if ever there was a chance it is now because of the meltdown of the
economy, etc.

We will end
up with new layers of exceptions and exclusions which will continue to
bog down the league calculations. I also think it will produce a poorer
quality
product with results that may not be what everyone expects or likes as
far as allowances vs. denials, etc of league status. I also don't think the
public will
embrace the online world ratings as is expected.
