If this is so (and I think you are correct), there is a Madison Chapter 
member who has been violating these rules for years.  For that matter, I 
think it violates Yellow Pages advertising standards but no one wants to 
challenge the usage, so it continues year after year.

When "Madison's Best" first appeared, I was the chapter vice president and 
one of the other chapter members brought it to my attention.  When I spoke to 
the member about it, he was very defensive, saying that I was out of line 
about bringing it up since I did not go through the chapter president.  When 
I became president, the same member complained again and when I brought it up 
with the offending member, he said that there was a procedure in place for 
that kind of grievance and that it should be followed and he would defend 
vigorously his right to advertise that he is the "best".

These kind of advertising claims are usually self defeating.  I doubt very 
many are persuaded by such a claim.  It seems ludicrous to me because I have 
observed over the years that this individual is one of those who consistently 
substitutes Reverse Well for ET.  As they say, no one temperament can be 
considered "better" than another.
