Special thanks to Mary Ann, Paul, Len, and Pat for taking special care to notice the problem, notify me, and in Paul's case, take action to correct it.

Paul's always taken me under his wing and I greatly appreciate it.

Regarding the problems - I like to be optimistic and give people the benefit of the doubt. Doing the math from Paul's post below, it appears that there were 111 cards in it when he received it, and he said that there were exactly 11 NV cards in it.

To me, it looks like the people who were kind enough to put in "bonus" cards may have added NV cards, which is ok with me. They weren't obligated to put these freebies in, and I'm certainly not one to look a gift horse in the mouth.

As for the 8 duplicates - I can only hope that they're some small variation that Paul may have overlooked or that they were merely an oversight by the person who included them (we're all human, right?).

My only concern is that each participant have at least 100 distinct non-NV cards with which to trade. If the extra's in the RR are NV cards, that's perfectly fine with me.

When you receive the RR, please make sure there are 100 non-NV cards in it. If not, please email me immediately and we'll deal with it together.

Thanks so much for everyone's help and concern!
Will
