And malmo - if you ARE going to mention results in the header of the message,
at least make sure the results are true, to avoid further confusion.
Just kidding, I didn't really believe 10.38, but who knows, some people
saw the 10.38 in the header, promptly killed the message without reading it
and than sat glued to ABC for 3.5 hrs waiting for Marion to pop 10.38.
And they will hate YOU for it! :)
Maybe that's how you make people watch track on TV?
Oleg.
PS: was it just me, or did ABC had twice the usual number of commercials
in their Sunday telecast? "We'll return to commercials after these short
messages from Edmonton".
