    In a perfect world it would be nice if everything was as it should be but this falls under the heading of an “unfunded mandate”. If the course is reasonably marked for direction with kilometers, gates and divisions leave it alone. This change is not necessary. Correct article is 960.

    I agree with this. _Some_ organizers have gotten sloppy about posting K markers (wrong location, wrong color, etc.). This reminds organizers about the rules. I support this proposal.

    I do not support this change. It is unnecessary.
