Clint:
Under "Drop Outs" you list the following information to help identify
the "state of the nation" (pun intended) for each available position:
>I have drop-outs available - don't forget you get a free turn for taking these up...
>E [Early] = 0-10 turn, M [Midgame]= 11-20, L [Late game] = 21+ [A= Aligned if a Neutral, N= not aligned if a Neutral, P = Postal and Email game, G=Grudge, 1w = 1week game, 3w = 3week game]
>
And you list the current games as:
>Bofa: None;
>1000: None;
>2950: Khand (m)
>1650: NGon (l), Sindar (l)
>Gunboat; A couple of Duos and some Singles - please get in touch all in excellent condition.
>
See an inconsistency?
In the "descriptive" part you indicate that capital letters will be used
to identify the stage of the game ("E" "L" "M"), but you actually use
lower-case letters. Now, a lot of people are about to say "Doesn't he
have anything better to do than edit Clint's 'unofficial' frontsheet?"
and the answer is ... something I won't get into at this time. 
But,
seriously, the use of the lower-case "l" instead of the upper case "L"
does indeed hinder the readability of this section. I have never picked
up a dropped position (other than in a current or grudge game), but
_might_ if the game were early enough. So I read this section from time
to time. And it always throws me off to see "1" (I just typed the
_number_ "one") next to certain positions.
So, I figure maybe it throws off others as well (including some who are
more likely to pick up a dropped position than I).
