Jenny, you’ll see my PM to you with the address. Seems like ages since I’ve won something, so this was a real mood-booster! And I’m a _Jeopardy_ fan, so will really enjoy the book. Congratulations to all the subscriptions winners (you’ll really enjoy the ‘member’ status, I suspect). Thank you to Grrr!, TubaDiva, and the anonymous donors for all their generosity and the time and effort they put in. You are appreciated! 🙂 ---

Thanks to Grrr!, TubaDiver, everyone, and to the “not to mention who they are” members. It’s been said that they are “all very kind and generous people,” and I believe it to be true! ---

Thanks for starting this thread, which reminded me to put my money where my mouth is and actually buy myself a subscription. I’ll see if I can participate next year on the donor side, if finances allow. ---

The book arrived; the postal employee, in his or her wisdom, elected to fold it in half and jam it into the small PO box, durn his or her hide. But it didn’t completely break the spine (!) Looks like a great book that should sell well to all those millions of _Jeopardy!_ fans. Thanks again! ---

We await your thread “Mistakes I Corrected Trebek On” – I’m sure he’ll appreciate your proofreading. Just saw this thread… this place is awesome, esp. **Grrr!** , **TubaDiva** , and the “members who must not be mentioned”.
