I've been at Awards where there was some talking but never to the degree 
you just experienced.  I don't mind when people talk very quietly, UNDER 
the RM, so everyone can still hear but I agree it is rude to talk in such a 
way that those around cannot hear the presenter.  I bet the first time that 
happened to me I would have been just irritated but now that you guys have 
written about the problem, I think I might have the courage to get up, go 
forward, politely request the mike and then tell everyone if you don't want 
to listen and don't know how to whisper quietly, then LEAVE so the rest of 
us can listen and applaud all the horse/rider teams that just worked so 
hard today.  At least I sure HOPE I'd have the guts.
