Is BOM melting down?
PEARL DRUMS:
They promised hats in a timely manner over and over and over. It has never changed. In my opinion? Its quite clear they don't give two hoots about BOM or their word, Steve-o.
Id like to retract my earlier comments regarding entering again. I'm out 100% and will remain that way, not that it matters much.

I certainly understand why you feel that way. Hmmm. What to do? :-\

I disagree, this is OUR site, and OUR magazine. I would hate to see BOM fall by the wayside. The more "lead horses" we have participating, the more interest it receives, and the more people it inspires.
Don't get me wrong, I understand your frustration PD, and it is sad that they cannot stand true to their word, but personally I don't do it for the hat. I do it because I like the challenge of competing against the best, it makes us all better when we get to see what the true craftsman, and artist are bringing to the table.

One thing I learned while recently at the International Association of Avian Trainers and Educators is that you always get the behaviors you prepare for. Example: You call your dog. Whether your dog comes or not depends on antecedent behavior. Antecedant behavior is everything that has happened leading up to the point where you call the dog. As the dog remembers whether it was rewarded or punished for coming to you in the past, it makes it's decisions based on risk versus reward. If the dog is ALWAYS rewarded for coming, the likelihood of the dog coming when called is HIGH. If SOMETIMES the dog is rewarded and other times punished, the likelihood is LOWER.
On the surface, P.A. may be reaping the behaviors they have set us up for by inconsistent rewards. But more importantly, what are we offering P.A. to get the behavior WE WANT?
