Is there a bonus for not using a drop?
I have answers for all, but am thinking that dropping would help with a lower score.

There are some messages in my "outbox" that haven't been sent yet, including this one. Is anyone else having this problem?

They've been sent. If they're still in the outbox, the recipient hasn't looked at them yet.

That just means the message hasn't been seen yet by the recipient. It is normal. After it's viewed, it will move from the outbox to the sent messages folder.

Some people may get the messages sent to their email as well, so it's highly possible that they could have already seen the contents of your message even though jboard doesn't yet know that they've viewed it.

If they're in the outbox, they haven't been read by the recipient.
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

Ah thanks. I thought outbox meant it was still in limbo before being sent

Hi, I am a new member and I think I just missed out on trying. Can't PM for these games until I have 3 posts.

I am a huge Jeopardy fan and I hope to be on the board more often and on the show in the future!

Linus Pauling is correct for me. The DROP is not. Dam, I had fracking Judah (I'm four blocks away from Judah St.) and made a botch of it by switching to Naphtali because I seemed to remember I used Judah last time this was used in a TD.

I used Dan last time, I think. It's who I played in our community theater production. I figured this time, I'd go for the obvious. :)
