Shenders:

While I have never engaged in the discussion about Kingman, I have read most of the messages. I must also admit that I did not know much at all about your team. Most of what I thought I knew was through the board postings.

I absolutely thank you for posting the information on your team. Unfortunately, there are many other casual viewers like me out there who may formulate an opinion about a team based on comments made by others not associated with the team.

These *rumors* or perspectives become reality to many. Not unlike how "reality" is created in the media, a few comments can create an impression about a team or a school or a robot that may be completely untrue.

That being said, you guys seem to have a terrific program. Keep doing what you are doing. And, every once in awhile, send out notes like the one I am replying to -- this will help us all understand the true situation.

Good luck in Florida. The Miracle Workerz look forward to competing with you.
