Questions about grafted plants

Bought this mammillaria "fred" monstrous over the summer and when I repotted the plant I noticed that it was grafted. I don't know much about grafted plants, but I felt somewhat cheated. So here are some questions regarding grafted plants:

1. Can a grafted plant stay on the root stock indefinitely or should it be separated at some point? And if so, when?

2. In a c&s show are grafted plants frowned up?

3. If a plant was once grafted but later separated from root stock does that have to be disclosed in a c&s show?

4. Is grafting something I should get into if I want to grow prize winning plants? It intimidates me a little, but sounds interesting.

Your help is greatly appreciated,
Robin
