Greetings;
     If there is a consensus to move to All-Star I'm fine with that.  And I'm 
fine with staying put with CBS as I've been in a CBS league for a couple years 
and things have worked out satisfactorily.

I don't have a problem with staying with the new/current service. ? It actually 
has some useful features, and I'm getting used to its features/quirks. ? I don't
 mind backing up my bids w/ e-mail.

Gang:
? 
? Here is where we stand on the website issues.? First, as reported earlier, it 
appears that everything functioned normally this weekend.? Most importantly, the
 FAAB bidding appears to have worked properly.? I have not yet heard from anyone
 indicating that their lineup moves did not go through.
? 
? As you may recall, a year ago when we switched from TQ Stats to All Star 
Stats, we also had some start-up issues.? I checked my e-mail archives from last
 year, and those e-mails indicate that we were having problems all the way 
through early May.? Even when we got most of the main problems resolved, we 
continued to have periodic issues throughout the year, especially arising from 
the inputting of retroactive moves.? 
? 
? Given that it is only mid-April and we already appear to have things working 
through the CBS system, I am now on the fence about the need to switch back to 
All Star Stats.? For starters, its more expensive, but aside from the cost, 
there is no guarantee that we will not experience similar start-up issue, 
putting us back at square one.? Moreover, the manual labor is roughly equivalent
 on CBS and All-Star, so I do not see a huge benefit to going back.
? 
? There are two principal differences that we will have to get used to if we 
remain on CBS.? First, as I have reported several times, to see your currently 
active roster, you need to look at the correct week.? This is now week 3.? The 
system will default to the roster for current week plus one (i.e., week 4), so 
you need to look back by clicking on the correct week.? You can also see your 
active roster on the live scoring function.? Second, the reporting of competing 
FAAB bids does not exist.? On All-Star Stats, you could inspect the bids by 
looking at the "evaluator" function.? On CBS, even the Commissioner cannot see 
the competing bids.? This means that we will have to rely on distributions of 
e-mails by bidders, as Andy suggested early last week.
? 
? To me, these two difference seem minor, and I think once we get used to the 
system, we will not notice.? I am interested in the impressions others have as 
we get used to this different system, so please feel free to e-mail me.
?
