I DO agree with many posters that find some members of 1114 and 2056 seem cold and uninterested in conversation, but I suspect that this is an artifact of being bombarded by constant accusations of not playing fair. Some of their members are much better at 'rising above the hate' than others, to which I say: They're humans. They're not perfect. Additionally, talking to them at competitions, while easiest, is also the highest stress time for them. They have high expectations, and a reputation of being the best to uphold. Catch them on a lunch break, or in the offseason, and they're much more approachable.

Racer, I'm gonna pick your brain about that first part... mostly for a presentation I am working on. Expect a PM shortly.

I'm going to toot my own horn for a bit and point to an interview we did with 1114 a while back. It breaks down their entire process in their own words. They were incredibly open with us. I've never felt they were cold at all. http://recordings.talkshoe.com/TC-98466/TS-509845.mp3

Reminds me that I should continue that series of Inside Look casts...
