Azbob, I have to check with the judges. Although you did phrase your answer as a question there was a period at the end, not a question mark. Since this is a written answer voice inflection is not heard. Judges? The judges will allow it since there is no cash prize involved, Bob… As a Jeopardy devotee, there is no need for a ruling from the judges. In written final jeopardy answers, a question mark is not required. Thanks a lot for getting fired from my cushy forum Jeopardy host… that’s all right. Don’t feel bad about it. We’ll just eat bugs and forage for berries like the government intends senior citizens to do… 🤓 |

Well that's good news at least. How are you feeling now? Feeling much better, but I didn't get my nap in today. T\ Thanks for asking, kay! Hey Matt I'm just catching up on past correspondence here. Glad you're on the mend. Remember to try one of those Bronx cocktails. They will alleviate most any affliction. |

They knowingly broke the rules. That is cheating however they rationalized it. MLB deserves a lot of the blame for not taking the issue seriously.

OK, need to share one of my pet peeves. Went to home depot the other day because I needed a couple of wood screws in a size I did not have. The next day I got a survey from home depot asking me to rate my purchase of the screws. I don't think I have really high expectations of wood screws. I would hope they screw in without issue and hold together what ever it is that I am trying to join. I cant recall having an experience where a wood screw failed to meet my expectations so I guess I don't now how to rate them. These wood screws did work, so are they great wood screws or simply good wood screws?

Why would you need a survey for wood screws? |

BTW...the screws you purchased could have been ordered and delivered to your front door from Amazon, saving the time and expense of a trip to Home Depot for such a small purchase. However, you still would've received a survey asking you to rate your purchase and the delivery process...IMO a small price to pay for the convenience. |

The milling on them look great and I have a high rate of confidence they will last the twenty years I expect them to. The cashier was pretty and cheerful until I asked for her phone number and personal address, so I can only offer her a rating of 3/10. If she had followed. Me to my plain, unmarked white van with out of state tags for a two hour dalliance I could offered her a 9 or 10, depending on her performance and whether or not she enjoyed being restrained. Your customer, Wally “Fingers” McGee Those surveys are so stupid, and I used to feel sorry for our customer service ladies because they would get feedback from the home office and asked to call customers that had rated them poorly and request a higher rating. What a dumb waste of time. If you’re going to manipulate numbers they become meaningless. Most interactions deserve a moderate rating, but they “need” excellent ratings. I don’t do surveys. They’re also a waste of my time… |

They’re also a waste of my time… At the grocery store where I shop a survey for the checker pops up frequently when I'm checking out. There is one particularly rude checker who will press 10 before I've had a chance. I had to ask he to please refrain from doing that. When she asked why, I said because you are not a 10. |
