I got caught at Parowan this year, also. my defense was; "Everybody

Probably not a bad rule except for a couple of glaring problems. If
the numbers are there purely for recognition in a gaggle, shouldn't
they be oriented to be read from the rear, not from the front? Also,
we can only identify those above us in a gaggle, how do we identify
those below us?...........................lets not go there, I used up
all my Crayons!

If I am directly above another glider, I won't be able to see any
markings, but if I am above and to the side, I can see the tail.
It's when directly below (bad place to be, I know) that I can't see
the tail ID, but can see the wing.

Also, people shouldn't be using fancy fonts that make the ID
unreadable.
