Lake, If not the message board then where might the cookers voice their concerns?!?! Second, did you take the time to read the post about scores in Irmo?! If so what are your thoughts and ideas about this situation. I think as the leader of SCBA myself and a lot of other cookers would like and response and possibly resolution.

: Friends, you may remember (those of you who
: have taken the Judge's Seminar) that we say
: that the Message Board is a place for
: messages rather than a forum for discussion.
: As I try to explain in the judge's Seminar
: that is because without the ability to see
: the writer's facial expressions or hear the
: nuance and inflection in their voice, as we
: do in face to face conversation, we run the
: risk of misunderstanding what another
: person actually means.

: That "message not discussion" has
: been a guideline for the Message Board since
: we started it in 2004 for the simple reason
: that the SCBA is designed to be a fun
: experience rather than one that could lead
: to misunderstandings. So far (15 years
: ain't bad), it has worked quite well so
: let's please keep it up.

: Thank you all for your interest and lets
: continue in the established spirit of the
