Good to hear you've been having a good time! Re: battlegrid: you're<br>
most welcome! I've shown it to the folks present at the SLC Editathon<br>
today, and everyone found it useful. Please don't hesitate to send any<br>
feedback or suggestions this way.<br>
<br>
We had a really good time here in Salt Lake. The turnout was good by<br>
our standards (5 people, 2 new). We did not accomplish a lot of<br>
mapping but we did discuss a potential Utah address points import<br>
extensively. Also, because we all agreed this is a pleasant way to<br>
spend a Saturday afternoon, we are introducing a new monthly event,<br>
the Saturday Mapternoon! If you're in the area, check us out:<br>
