     Yes, and this could be my problem with commenting. I feel that I
don't want to disappoint them after the effort they've put in if I
don't like it, or something about it. I dunno, perhaps I should start
doing press-ups and grunt a little...

   I read all the text if I'm in the competition. I'm amazed at what
people use, and I quite often try to imagine me using their techniques
and programs.

   'What' would I do? Phew! I'll find out one day, I'm sure...  ;)

    Now, you could have it solved here Shay. I mentioned in another
post that maybe there should be a cut-off time/date for commenting,
voting. Maybe a change 'is' needed? I don't know, if so, then it could
*only* be a change for the better, and if not, I don't mind the rules
as they are, they work well for me.
