Hello Omid, Thanks for the job you are doing BUT it is rather difficult to expect those of us outside the loop to appreciate the various stresses you are operating under. When a world class event with a world class field is being held, particularly in this century when the Internet and real time updating is taken for granted, it is more than a bit off-putting to get the information in bits and pieces. Don't agree? There was a local television station carrying delayed games of the concluded NBA season. By the time the game was half-way through (on the delayed network) the ESPN folks would have the summaries, comments etc. The local station soon started showing the games live because no-one was watching their delayed coverage. Live updating may be difficult. Very soon thereafter should not have been so. I guess we have just come to expect that for an event such as this one, a WCC, that the coverage could have been more up to date. Perhaps this is an aspect to examine. The stress of participation is more than enough. There should be a voluteer assistant to do the web site stuff. Just the way I see it. All the best.... Later. Ps. I have to ask, is Genesis dead? Will Falcon be available as a .......?
