A recent thread elsewhere regarding the use of a flag and pole to help locate at big shows etc prompted me to ask:

Why erect this noisy flapping monstrosity on a CL when in windy weather is more an annoyance to everyone nearby. It's use is understandable in a field populated by perhaps hundreds at a show or similar as a means of locating your pitch, but on a CL !!! 

Is it patriotism ?
