Oh, you were being serious.

[stanley1883]

Good luck to everyone who made it this far! I'll be looking for your opinions in the PGM thread especially!!!

 

I've been grading since my elimination and my grades have become progressively worse. That tells me I got eliminated right were I should have been and that the OP has done a masterful job of picking the right books for each round.

4. No conditional grades will be accepted. Please ask questions to seek clarification before submitting grades.

 

Are questions to be asked via PM or in the open in the thread?

And if by PM will they be answered in the PM or in the thread for all to see?

I doubt it, there's an individual_without_enough_empathy playing amongst you. I start a pole shortly to ban him from future competitions.

 

yeah, yeah, that individual_without_enough_empathy is me.
