[Woodcarver] Judging shows.

[Mike Gratton]

I gotta admit, it is nice to hear all these different
points of view.  And not just on this topic.  Really
keeps you from letting your thinking getting stuck in
a rutt.  Hearing different points of view don't always
make me change mine, but they do make me re-examin
them.
