see? that wasn’t so hard.

I’ll be away from the 'puter for a few hours, so keep having fun. But I only need 6 more contestants to score. Those answering after that, you’ll at least be able to see how yours stack up, popularity-wise.

He played this one near the top of page 1 - I’d posted my intent and he did not object. This just gives him more time to create questions.
