Just my opinion and yes, I'm afraid I will have to >finally buy a copy of Shredder just so I can test it to find out what makes it >so LUCKY. >Jim "Luck is when preparation meets opportunity". Not sure who was the first to say this, but my coaches (football, basketball, baseball, golf, tennis and track) use to always quote this. Including the 1995 WMCCC, Shredder has W=28, D=14, L=7 (2000WMCCC=1st, 1999WCCC=1st, WMCCC1997=3rd, 1996WMCCC=1st, 1995WMCCC=13th). Shredder had no losses in 1999WCCC and 2000WMCCC. Pretty "lucky" I'd say. :) Best Regards, Chris Carson
