I think this forum seems to have a lot more younger members/newcomers to the hobby (this isn't in regards to anyone in this thread) and they tend to be very quick to react to what is in reality fair criticism.
I think that the best forums are the ones where there is an equal balance between criticism and encouragement. I sometimes see things on this forum that I don't like or agree with, and I have seen things on UB that I also don't like or agree with.
Anyway, I will have to ask someone what standard VTs are judged against here and what class they can be entered in as I have seen them place in shows here in Australia.
