How our sport is (always) changing
From: Ross Jahnke
I think the title of Aram’s post should be “How our sport is (always)
changing.” The implied parallel between the changes he lists and the rule
changes we’ve seen of late is only that – implied. So let me imply an idea
about cohort size vs. evidence for rule changes:
1. The small the cohort (number of participants), the more influence one
contest, one person or even one flight has had on the rules.
2. The small the cohort, the *less* influence one contest, one person or
even one flight *should have* on the rules.

Well, now I know the meaning of irony.
Dan Berry
Note –because so many of readers are not native English speakers and they might not understand Dan’s observation. So we have included a dictionary definition to help them
irony
noun
The expression of one’s meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.
“‘Don’t go overboard with the gratitude,’ he rejoined with heavy irony”
A state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often wryly amusing as a result.
