I'd like to thank everyone who sent my call as part of the exchange, and I know
at least two where glad they did as I was able to correct them.
I would also like to apologize for sending NR as part of the exchange on
Saturday, that was unnecessary.
Thought cut numbers were interesting, but I would not have used them with this
particular exchange, but I also don't send leading zeros for the serial number.
Proper/good spacing was more important to me. There were a couple that were
challenging to figure out where the numbers ended and the letters began. But
nothing is perfect, 'twould be kinda boring if it was ;o)
