Jim,

Sorry to be pedantic but you say in your reply below:

<<<We will no longer accept log entry emails to  ccssb.logs at rsgbhfcc.
org>>>

and the rules say:

<<<If problems occur with Robot submission which cannot be resolved, 
the following email addresses may be used to submit entries:
CW Events - cccw.logs at rsgbhfcc.org   SSB Events - ccssb.logs at rsgbhfcc.
org   Data Events - ccdata.logs at rsgbhfcc.org>>>

These two statements are contradictory and cannot both be true!

73 Bob
