No, not everyone knows that! The name Errol Flynn rings a bell, but
I've never hear of the other guys. But who knows, maybe Fred Astaire
played that bishop?

google groups (http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.trivia/) is
having problems lately. it shows 9 posts in the summary page, but I
only see posts from myself, Marc Dashevsky, Dan Tilque, Rob Parker,
and Calvin. This will make it hard to score, to say the least.
I'd like to know more about what methods various people use to post,
including news server, format, browser or email client, etc. I'll
start a new thread on that in a minute. oh, and I haven't been able
to see even all of my own posts -- for example, when I missed a round
in Mark Brader's QFTCI I sent in something short and suspect that Mark
replied to it based on the thread count going up by 1 shortly
afterwards, but I never saw either post. for that post I was using
firefox and posting through google groups as usual. for this post, I
am using ms internet explorer 7 from work.
