[PaQSO] qso p0arty complaints

I believe that Duane is absolutely right!

Looking at the size of our contest, even a full staff would be weighed down!
Also gotta remember that a lot of these folks are trying to attend school at
the same time!

I say a hearty thanks and congatulations are in order for holding it
together as well as they did in what had to be a very hairy transition!

The little glitches will improve with experience.
