That seems so f'ing obvious, yet no one has brought it up yet. I think. Unless I missed it. At this point I feel like a 7-year-old who keeps asking "why?", but I think that moves out of the crowd thing and into a different area. Please accept my apologies for not making any sense. The terminology eludes me. The real question is probably something like "why do we need recognition for anything at all?" If Someone did go run a marathon and said so, but then you didn't believe him, why would he care? And why is there is a need to point at the event records for proof? It's simply a motivator I can't relate to, and I'm trying to understand it. Dave Mann's message go a long way to explaining it.
