OK, this will be the last time I post about this. First, I apologize myself to Roger for resorting to name-calling. That was foolish on my own part. Further, I am sure he will do a fine job editing questions for ACF Nationals, which I am sure is not the most fun in the world to do. That said, no matter what Roger says to the contrary, since ACF lacks an official hierarchy, the editor of ACF Nationals is one of the most important roles in the organization. Like it or not, Roger, you became a spokesperson for ACF when you attached your ACF title to the signature of your first reply. IMHO no person should ever call someone's comments "retarded," much less a representative from a quizbowl organization. It simultaneously insults both mentally disabled people (I have a cousin who is), and the person who made the comment. I doubt you have ever heard R. Hentzel, Eric Hillemann, Mary Oberempt, James Dinan, or anyone else in a position like that make such a comment. I actually am all for ACF, and want to see it thrive, but I think "official" responses which do little but insult customers damage the organization and further the old stereotypes. I would like to see the ACF Fall questions if someone could send them to me. I based the "Straight Outta Benet's" comment on the questions I heard at the Terrapin ACF tournament the week before. So if I was wrong, I will gladly admit it. As for the quality of my questions, no one has complained to me before about them. At the risk of sounding egocentric (which I have been at times), I have won four separate awards for submitting the best packet of a tournament, so not everyone agrees with you. That's all for this thread; good luck to everyone at TRASH Regionals this weekend. -Adam Fine
