When was the last time anyone who normally posts here was a host? Well, I had the first chance this year, but passed it up because I've already hosted it once. I don't mind a technically crappy but playable game, of course; Cassette 50 had a few. But I do wonder about the occasional CGC entry that is actually polished and sensible. I suppose it is (or was) one way to get more eyeballs than you might by quietly submitting it to WoS. Eq.

I admit that I submitted all those utilities to the compo for the free advertising. It was cheaper than the Rolo tax.

It was cheaper than the Rolo tax. What's Rolo Tax? I remember sending Rolos to the winner when I ran it. Actually, they may have been jumbo Rolos. Ah, CSS, it's been too long. :) -- Graham Goring
