Oops. I seem to be saying that a lot lately!

Thanks for the correcton, Eugene....but damned if I know what I can do to change it?

Maybe Greg?

Thanks! I like to help in making the Zapper reports better,if that is possible:) thanks for the encouragement and I will keep trying to improve it all I can :) Joshua That was a fantastic report on the Board One games, Josh! Even under normal cirumstances, I would lack the time to put that together...

Well done Brian! Thanks for handling that potential time-problem since I was (and still am! Curses!) offline at home. That's what a good Asst. TD does! And thanks to Greg for a fast response too!

It's official. The first round of the 2012 Zapper Memorial Tournament is started, I don't think the minor flip (which I was not told of yesterday) would not have made a big difference, Brian.
