	My guess:  Ruth, Bonds, Aaron, Gehrig and Musial.  I went back and checked, but
	I won't say if I was right or not.

	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.

	Mark

	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.
	?
	? -- Mark B.
