[pct-l] Level playing field

[Tortoise]

Reinhold old friend,

Since when is playing by the rules or a level playing field considered 
socialism or marxism or communism?

In most competitive endeavors, there are rules for the competition and 
those that get caught violating the rules usually are usually disqualified.

Scott and Joe's hike may be their personal best. HYOH doesn't mean the 
rest of us have to approve of the hike or consider the record legitimate.
