What makes you say this? How many leagues have you been involved with? If it's fewer that 50% of those in existence, do you have studies or other evidence which support what yopu said about "[m]ost"? Perhaps this league has made a conscious decision to include that data in its database. To me, it makes sense to include this data. Received on Sat Jan 24 2004 - 10:38:20 CST
