Re: anyone else having trouble accessing their "Activity" page on the registry?
I assume you mean because it's falling on those critical days between Jan 1 and Dec 31... :wink: As far as the Registry is concerned, their busy season SHOULD be July 1st to maybe mid-August while they get the awards straightened out, with the rest of the year being expansion and maintenance.

Re: pathetic moronic comment during the broadcast last night...

Re: 2014 Gold Baseball HOF overproduction...
