In reply to: 's message, "I have a tendency to agree, yet when I recall the many years ago (without prelims) I cannot remember such controversy. I believe when Paula allows others to "represent her program", she opens herself up to being laible for their actions. I believe she should discontinue them and see what happens. I bet the numbers go thru the roof and things quiet down. Without prelims, there would be no constant use of messageboards and the talk would be at a minimum. Problems would lie solely with management and maybe all of this specualtion would go away." on 14:23:50 01/30/04 Fri

Most of the talk on these boards have nothing to do -- Anonymous, 15:13:58 01/31/04 Sat

That's not what I remember about last year's posts. After every prelim, people posted complaining about outcomes, directors, and overall fairness. They also attacked girls who competed and hyped those they thought would win state. After reading some of the hype, I know 3 girls who decided against going to state because they thought there was no way they could beat someone who had already beat them at a prelim. It is something to consider. -- Anonymous, 12:33:18 02/01/04 Sun
