Administrative note: The normal way PHPBB calculates poll results is the number of responses for each choice out of the total number of responses. That doesn't work for us. Volante modified it so the calculations are, for each choice, the percent of the total responses. Apparently there's a slight glitch that appears from time to time. Since these polls aren't life-and-death, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

A very rare unicolor array. Darn B-for-C substitution in the previous week cost me an even rarer two straight weeks of correct FJs.

Have seen, heard, and quoted from "Who's on First?" more times than I can count.
