Thanks for the all kinds words about the Archives. I hope to make an announcement in the near future about what will happen to my data. It does NOT involve reviving the Archives web site. Yes, I was thinking that the data must still exist, so it can be turned into a book or some sort of database.

Denver looks horrible tonight. They can't even make a first down in the second half. Meanwhile, New England is moving the ball like a playoff team.
