Well, while we are on the subject on TV coverage, what do you think would 
happen if Geraldo Rivera or somebody in the "News Reporting World" happen to 
be a lurker on RC?  I guess Arab abuse isn't a big enough story for Geraldo, 
but can you imagine hidden cameras in a show barn the night before the big 
halter classes at Nationals!  Unfortunately, it would probably refelect 
poorly on all horseman.
