[USML Announce] Just Trying to Be Helpful

[rickgam at comcast.net]

Greetings;
     I stand corrected, Jeff.  And with the pair of Marks' missives concerning TQ Stats, my vote would give them a quick 3 - 0 lead over All Star Stats as things stand now.  Good luck, or limited luck as the case may be,  to you all,
    Rick
