I'm not trying to single your post out Amanda, I would have PMed you had it been just you involved, but I've just about heard enough from everyone on this subject for the day.

Sorry

Andy,

I didn't post what I did because any certain team was involved, or because of any particular person that replied. I stand by what I said - this thread, and a lot of the replies involved, are indeed disrespectful, rude, inconsiderate, and misguided. Moreover, I have made my share of ignorant posts on CD, and because of being corrected I certainly learned my lesson.

Any team singled out - especially these seven - should certainly feel defensive. I know I would, should I be publicly reminded of how much money is in my bank account. The basis on which the teams are being judged is pretty ridiculous.
Amanda

p.s. - don't say 'sorry'. Even if someone doesn't agree, you should never been sorry for your opinion (that goes for everyone on ChiefDelphi or otherwise).

/edit - I'll rely on someone else to clarify, and I'll now take the role of the ignorant FIRSTer. I believe NASA allows a set amount for each regional's grants. And I believe that if rookies or underfunded teams in their first or second year had applied for the Boilermaker Regional, they would have gotten funding.
