Mr. MADHAT1, don't think it's a bummer, think it's a plus 100 for the team. Mel's knowledge of WBB is legendary, spanning a gazillion years.
Could be a plus, looking at it in a positive light.
But not making the top 25 is a bummer for me and 1 vote doesn't excite me
even if that makes the team tied for #36
