ME! Can't wait. My brother got me a shirt for Christmas that says "Jack Bauer... could choke you with a cordless telephone." This to go with my "If you woke up this morning... it's because Jack Bauer spared your life," "David Palmer for President" and CTU shirts. Patrick

Welcome aboard, Jeffrey. Happy to have you here at KF! Patrick

Cool, thanks for letting me know. Patrick

Hey all, As WireFrame mentioned, there is another recent thread on this topic, so I will go ahead and close this one and redirect you over there. http://www.karateforums.com/karate-kid-trailer-out-vt37775.html Thanks, Patrick

Welcome to KF, Chitsu. Happy to have you. How did you find us? Patrick

Cool, I used to play chess a bit. Know the game, but not the strategies and all of that. I've always liked the really cool, expense chess boards. If not just to play them, but because they are fun to look at.

Yeah, it's a shame that people are out there doing this, but that's life, I guess. The same sort of thing applies to e-mail, but thankfully people are gradually becoming smarter about it. Still, far too many people are way too trusting. It's good practice in general to respond to requests for sensitive information by contacting the requesting party yourself with their known contact information. But, it's something that even the best of us can forget from time to time. Patrick

Is this it? http://www.manopoulos.com/poseidon.html Looks very nice. Patrick

Thanks for the replies, all. Congrats again WireFrame.

Thanks for the replies all. Good luck with your resolutions. Bob, no, I don't think I have anything I'd term a resolution. I have some things in mind, though. Patrick

The week 17 match-ups in 3 of the games... kinda weird.

Happy New Year everyone! Do you have any New Year's resolutions?
