-- Beyond that, the Quizmaster may not always respond to every post.
-- Not being unfriendly, just utilizing the time more efficiently by keeping the Scoreboard U-T-D (Up-To-Date).
-- Besides, it's just too boring to keep responding 'Yes" to every correct answer -- and too many posts may scare off potential players.
-- The Scoreboard will tell the tale -- but be patient about U-T-Ds because the QM thinks and types slowly.
-- Do you want 'em fast or accurate? (I don't do both)
-- Any comments on Correct Answers (always a player's first and sometimes after several attempts) will be entered ALL IN CAPS!!!
-- When posting traffic is heavy, Scores will be entered in groups of five, and incorrects (NTAs and halfers) will be bundled.
-- Be sure to number and label correctly to save wear and tear on the QM and his beleaguered staff.
-- Only one answer can be correct -- MINE! (It's good to be the Quizmaster)
-- Please follow the EXAMPLE directions to facilitate scoring as well as maintaining player harmony and Quizmaster sanity.
-- IMPORTANT: Do not return to correct a previous post -- this vehicle cannot make U-Turns.
