I hate it when a stupid clue like the "cherry" clue costs me a 5-for-5 week.

After missing 6 FJ!'s in a row, I recovered to have a decent week. T. Roosevelt on Monday, dates on Tuesday. I know I've seen the movie Jaws, and I'm about 80% certain I read the novel back in the day.

Sorry for the bump, but I never got around to posting my results for this week (which I try to do faithfully now that poll votes are private), and want to get it done before the new season starts.

Out of curiosity, did you not vote when the poll results were shown? I've been trying to get it back to where we could see how everyone voted, but if people have a problem with that, maybe I should drop the idea.

I always voted. I like having a checkable record of my FJ performance, since I don't always post about how I did on an individual basis. Plus other boardies would occasionally compile the data based on poll votes, and it was cool to see how I compared with everyone else. I just didn't necessarily post about it, since it was visible to everyone anyway. I've made a point since the last software changeover to faithfully post my results in the FJ threads.

Ah. I totally misunderstood your rationale. Got it.

As one who compiled this inividual data, I strove to publish the top, positive results in any compilation of the results, unless the user permitted otherwise. I would PM any user who wanted this info kept private. Now that individual data is not available, I don't see how to do this effectively.

Well, *my* individual data is available thanks to my self-reporting in the FJ threads. :)
