[Public-List] Another Hope Island Racing Conference done...

[John Birch]

PHRF Shmirf - a debate about the number of angels dancing on the head of a 
pin.

No substitute for class level one design where all the excuses evaporate. If 
the other guy is ahead, yer not doing too well. If yer ahead yer doing ok.

We quit racing PHRF a few years ago because of the whining and politics - we 
had an enviable winning race record, but  I have time to commit, not waste.

Class Level racing is the only racing.

When I hear PHRFers debating the wonderfulness and fairness of this metric I 
am reminded of the immortal words of Big Daddy:

"I do believe I smell m e n d a c i t y"   ; )

Best all,

John
