| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Feb 12 03:46PM -0600 I was wondering when Pete Gayde was going to show up. Now if Stephen Perry would just come back and resume whomping the field... If Pete's answers had been on time, he would have had scored 7 points on Round 4 and 8 on Round 6, for a total of 47 so far. -- Mark Brader | "Before I began researching... I thought that confirmation bias Toronto | was a major problem, and everything I've read since then msb@vex.net | convinces me that I was right." --Tom Phillips, "Humans" |
