And I don't think anybody is going to be making any claims that Boris followed Will around, either.

oh, he was there in the forest all right. He just didn't officially enter this time to make it less obvious..

TO FOLOW,OR NOT TO FOLLOW ?
This is the question.And the answer is :This is what culture will do to you(J.J.),people can't see the forest because of the trees.Instead of catching the real point they only see the word "follow" and assume that the expresion that I used and I qoute:"catch up with him" means to follow and to make things clear for those culturarly challenged ,my point was that does not matter how good of an orienteer you are,you will definitely benefit from running along with an other good orienteer especialy one that belongs to the same club as you are,wich translates gaining time unfairly towards the other competitors regardless if was planed or not,and I am not gest saying this, I actualy experienced it myself several times in my orienteering carier.

And one more thing J.J.,I actualy was going to stop adding more discution about the relay thread,but you coming back with the following thing,made me to respond,and my issue is on the culture,since you brought it up at one point.As far as I know the main characteristic of the U.S.A. culture is,that anybody can freely express themself without expecting any retaliation.Manny of you who commented on the relay thread ,actualy tryied to retaliate one way or the other against what I commented about what it was my opinion that happened at the Relay Champs.So what this says about foresaid culture?

From where did you jumped in yourself ?I am 100% sure you have no idea what I know or I don,t about the "culture" but I can tell you that even if you guys who try to overcame somebody about something that you think that I, may not be as informed as you are,shows only that you don,t know all about it either.And to clear things up I never even stated at any time that I understand it ,in the first place I am trying to figure out if there is a specific outlined culture but so far I believe is a mix of some kind and in the second place I am getting tired to get asaulted on attack point so please face me if anybody has any bones to pick with me.
