Did you sit reserve under the old FCH reserve system (24-hour A)? Yes, reserve sucks and should be avoided.

I think what he's trying to say is that they haven't sat reserve very much since 4a2b, and therefore do not know what it's like now. 10 years of sitting reserve 10 years ago doesn't equate to being an expert on sitting reserve today.

That's just my interpretation.

So I truly apologize to the MEC and NC.. That's what I get for digressing.:o And I'm big enough to admit when I screw up.

Admitting you were wrong, owning up, and admitting you screwed up? Way out of character for these forum threads. :confused:
