I participated in a round or two, and enjoyed it too. I did think the
questions were way too hard. I felt like questions about newton usage
would be better then questions like Hardy Marcias birthday(sorry I'm
sure that's misspelled).
Anyhow I think the site is great and the contest is still a good idea
too.
Sorry you feel like it didn't get enough participation, as a web host
I know what that feels like (all that effort for what...)
Anyhow Rich your efforts are appreciated, even if the eagles do suck,
marty
