Hi, everybody!

Did Santana2002 ever post the answers to his round? I don't see them, and I'm interested in what I got, since I don't play very much, but am trying to play more.

I know he was having comp problems before, maybe they crept back up on him, but I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss them.

Round 20 is now closed. Results will be up in a couple of hours.

Just had a quick look, and could not see Santana's results. Looks like the computer gremlins are still at work there.

Thanks! I know I'm not the only one eagerly awaiting the results.........:) Those computer gremlins can be a nasty bunch!
