Now Hans, looking at the standings, perhaps both teams would be better off with
more transparency. <grin>
My favorite NFL team? The Baltimore Colts. They haven’t lost a game in around
40 years…
One of the things I note on the scoreboards is that most ops don't seem to care
about others seeing their band splits. N1MM+ allows you to turn off that
feature. But almost all users leave it on.
I use SkookumLogger which doesn’t give you a choice - K1GQ made the right
decision is leaving out the band info.
