Re: my point of view about being a FIRST-a-holics

It is not some status, or honorary title you shoot for with a set of guide lines, trying to fulfill some artificial requirement so you can achieve the title when you get enough points for each category, and show the rest of the world you are someone worthy.
I don't care about status, I don't care about what I got from the events, and I don't care about worrying if I will be accepted or not. I do FIRST because its fun and exciting, and I do FIRST because I believe in it.

Thank you, Ken. I think you've cleared up a lot for CD.
Maybe now this won't be such a controversial issue.
