Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I fail to see which ethic Mr. Albany's statement has violated, expecially
when delivered in a forum meant for fellow referees.  I, for one, was not
aware that the assessment program was so bad.  Most seem to agree that it
is, but disagree on degrees.  I would assume that ANY National Referee is
capable of handling amateur and youth games without question.  Is it true
that some aren't?  That would seriously undermine my belief that I will earn
my upgrade when I try for it next year.  I've often called the USSF a
bumbling institution.  BUT I'm proud to be a Referee.  I feel that if
anything, we are the ones who make the game more respectable than it would
be otherwise.
