Hi Jim;

    Thank you for such a concise analysis of this situation.  I fully
    agree with your opinion: as I see it, you've correctly identified the
    problem.  A show can and should have whatever criteria its organizers
    deem appropriate and artists should include or exclude themselves
    from those venues according to whether they qualify and if they see
    the show as worthwhile to participate in.  The problem is precisely
    that either judges and show producers aren't holding all to the
    standards they set forth or they don't know the difference when
    someone is violating them.  Now comes the question of how to change
    these situations, and I think we have had some useful suggestions by
    yourself and others, and I hope my contributions, although
    admittedly somewhat reactionary, can help too. 

David L. Huffman
