 Never mind. It's the right thing to do |

I agree MD.
And I won a bonus for first four placed and my nap came in at 14s. But it's a fairer comp this way. |

Awful bad luck to 10 2 F who had a belting day but With so few people able to post it would have been a gash affair to have won. This way's much fairer. |
