How does one find ones place in the pecking order? Why would you want to?
Sure competitions can be fun but for those I favor easily measured results
in strictly limited categories rather than a judged competition that
includes a bunch of subjective opinions (that aren't often based on much but
the judge's place in the artificial hierarchy) attempting to include several
areas of weighted endeavor in the final result.

We should definitely not allow anyone who uses a nine foot long paddle to
spread his filth to the uninitiated though ;-)
