true, but nothing to do with the scores being posted either AFAIK.
apparently, getting the scores on the web site happens due to the 'paid'
efforts on staff at the SSA office. given the SSA financials, no 'overtime'
is likely authorized.

The postings that Charlie makes to the SSA site are a 'paid' entry, it is
not part of a 'volunteers' efforts. When he is not at the contest, then
the
effort is not made to add comments to the site. The RAS postings were
great
to read even if they do not appear on the SSA site.

That assumes the scorer reads RAS. Like cucurachas, there may be 100
lurking for each seen, but RAS doesn't reach more than an interested
segment
within the SSA, perhaps 10% tops, even with relays. I can't identify
any
activity by Bill Ruehle, Region 9 scorer and CD, in RAS, ever. He may
know
nothing of RAS. The SSA newgroups may be more accessible though. There
could be some word wrap issues though, depending on format selected. He
has
made at least two of his gliders available to Dick Johnson for testing
though, so he's definitely a soaring contributor.

I don't seen any postings by the contest managers either. I thought
they
posted here up to a few years ago, but I can't find anything, so maybe
it
was something else entirely.

I think the scorer probably e-mailed the results to the SSA office and
that
we'll seem them Monday AM. This was probably the accepted procedure and
then he headed a few hundred miles home like everyone else.

FWIW, I've introduced nearly 1000 clients to the USENET as a resource
for
their business, hobby, or special interest. If 5% actually use it, I'd
be
amazed.

While there may be problems to remote post into the existing website
structure, Tom Kelly was very effective in getting much of the word
out
through this forum. We all anticpate improvements to the site that
will
make thorough reports readily available. In the meantime, would it be
possible for the contest scorer to cut and paste the results into a
message on this forum? There could even be a simple note added to the
SSA site to look here for the latest until the new full-featured site
is
up and running.

We all need to lobby for the SSA and contest organizers to take the

minutes each day to make the scores available online in a timely

I was curious so went to Hobbs and copied scores from the Score
Shack
window. I probably made mistakes, sorry.
