jim_p, I consider your contest great and grand good sport. Much like Knights of the Table Round wagering on the next days joust over a hearty meal of venison and claret. One thing vexes me however. You have stated publicly that you do not expect the OSX rally to extend past the fall. Correct me if I am wrong, but September was the month, you stated would signal the maximum amount of time you would accord to any rally in the OSX. Therefore, I beseech thee, shorten thy contest. <G> September 1, I suggest as an honorable cutoff date. It is in keeping with your own timetable and is soon enough to maintain more than passing interest in the contest. Who knows, if the time is shortened, perhaps even the "Black Knight" may even be induced to enter, ankle biting chihuahuas and all. I can see his shield now - 10 screaming Chihuahua's being devoured by gargoyles from Hell, resplendent on a field of scarlet. :o}}}}}}}}}}} Wherefore art the noble and exquisite Diana? Can this contest even begin without her sweet benedictions? And what of the the mightiest Patch Warrior of them all? Perro Grande, Duke of Houston, Landgrave of Lubbock? And send forth the heralds to the Arkansass Wonder hinself, none other than the Almighty King of Spreadsheets - General Razorbak (having been promoted from private for valor during the Great Battle of Tweety Boid Mountain). ;o} Surely a fivecount of Razor's Runt's would favor our fair enterprise? Surely these noble and esteemed personages will not abandon our great sport! And what of Post Patrol? Alas, they remain hoist by their own poitards. Pity and indulgences go forth to their wretched and impoverished wee-nesses. Sir Bull 'O the Greenwood. #|:o)))))))))
