In yet another shameless promotion for my site, setting the Parameters for
the contest as Marty correctly states below to solve the problem below that,
is covered under 'Universal Setup,' part of 'Setting up You' on my web site.
This is the section that tells WriteLog how score your contest and submit
the correct log. Following the procedures in the section will give you a
hassle-free contesting experience with WriteLog.
OK, I promise not to harp on this again until February. And, prevention
being better then the cure, I think I'll send out a note reminding people of
this section before the next contest...
