I was amused to note that one of the top scorers in the sprint continues to 
violate the convention (not a rule, certainly) about sending your call at 
the end of an S&P exchange but in the middle of a run exchange.  I am 
gradually getting used to it, so it doesn't boggle me the way it once did, 
but surely this doesn't help his score.
