Let me clarify something, I was not and am not angry about 30K being allowed. Am I for it being included? No, I have my reasons but, if the majority of the community wanted it in I would go along. I was against using ITC rules but we do that. I prefer tournament play, again a personal preference. Sometimes, I get a little passionate and it might appear that I'm mad. I'm not.

The reason I have not attended lately is I have been doing other things. Last year, I got pretty burnt out and decided to back away a little and do different things, like occasionally going out with my non-40K friends for a few whiskeys and catch some live music. I have been attending two to three events per month since I have been in Austin. That is about 8 years......that is roughly 192+ events not counting GTs. So, yeah I needed a break......I was starting to get cranky.
