"Thanks for the very interesting observations, Mike."

My observations are exactly that, observations.

I don't claim them to be any more or less than my 2 cents.

One thing is certain though, the phone bands are much less crowded 
this weekend.

    Thanks for the very interesting observations, Mike.

I'll be interested in what others have to say.

I guess this contest simply was a bit of an unusual experience for me, 
given
the friendlier nature of the many other contests I have been in 
recently.

But, again, this is just based on my limited experience so far, so I
acknowledge that some of my thoughts might not be totally 
well-founded.
