I think he was saying that for folks like me that don't mind travelling to
different regions and want to run pretty much every weekend that lots of
local customization of the rulebook could make our life difficult. I
agree with him that I'd rather have a single rulebook that the region
chose to overlook if needed rather than local regional rulebooks that were
followed to the letter by local 'rule book lawyers'.

My personal opinion on the whole protest thing is that any protest at the
regional level that didn't start with the protestor talking with the
protestee on an unofficial level would be weenie. In addition, at a
regional level if someone wants to win bad enough that they protest me,
I'll just voluntarily dq myself. I won't be in a car that isn't legal,
but I have no interest whatsoever in taking something that I currently
enjoy and turning it into some argument with a guy who's ego can't handle
getting beaten.
