    Have a nice time!

    Peter, you missed the opportunity to suggest the USFbA resolve it.

    Quite unlike you, particularly since you were the one to tell us about the USFbA.
    Whoopee! My avatar is back.

    I think that since Peter brought the US Ping Pong Veteran committe in, that he meant a 15 point PING PONG bout....

This is why you see the "NASCAR" like uniforms on them with the ridiculous number of product (Depends, Aspirin, Ibuprophen, Viagra, etc.) endorsements. Television and print ads also help a great deal.
    Joe, you got a wicked sense of reality there. What'ya think the powers that be would do if I got a nice patch monogrammed with "Powered by Viagra" on it for my oft hand sleeve. How far do you think I would get??

    Well Viagra should get you deep into the finals
    I'm a foil fencer, and I can change, if I have to, I guess.

    But if it takes more than 4 hours to win, see a doctor immediately.
    Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you!
