It has become evident that few are willing to cut corners to get to the next level. There are many more who value the integrity of the program more highly. I'd like to personally thank all who reported this incident, you make me feel great about the future of the LSF.

Rob clearly implies that Dave Beach LSF5 is a cheat and a crook as are the guys who turned in valid and legal task form for that event.
The story should read that the current LSF Board is guilty of not following the LSF Bylaws which dictate how rules are to be created. Instead they are making up rules for programs none of the board are currently participating in themselves.
They should be embarrassed for their actions, and should apologize to Dave Beach and the group of pilots they accused of cutting corners. And those who squealed like jealous kindergarden kids, should be embarrassed and exposed.
The Board has no idea of what the LSF is about.... but I'll remind them. Participation. Dave Beach, myself and others are actually DOING things to increase LSF participation. When was the last time anyone on the Board witnessed for a participant?
And YES I am one of those evil creeps who attempted to shortcut
their system....not the LSF program, nope I followed the rules.
IF Rob and the others want to stop the rampant participation in the program, they need to follow the Bylaws. Propose a rule, call for a member vote and eat crow when its shown that the majority of the membership does not agree. That the only guys who do agree are not actually participating in either program.
Shame on you Rob and the rest for trying to imply that Dave and the ESL members tried to cheat. You owe them an apology.
You guys think you are getting away with something, but you are wrong, wrong in your actions and wrong in your thinking.
Yup I said it.
If you would like someone's opinion on this, you could ask someone with more soaring experience, more LSF experience, and someone more LSF active than me..... oh yeah, that's right there isn't anyone in the entire RC soaring world with more of all that than me.
I can prove that...but everyone knows its a fact.
