[PaQSO] Puzzling

[Glenn O'Donnell, K3PP]

Please don't be discouraged, Mike! 

There are always whiners, but the VAST majority of participants applaud and thank you, the rest of the team behind it, and those who preceded you! You've done wonderful things for this contest and the extensive community that built up around it! 

This is my favorite contest of them all! It is a beautiful event in so many ways! We should always watch for opportunities to improve, but, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

From the bottom of all of our hearts, we thank you!
