The response to the November contest has improved with approximately 20
entries of which 10 were correct. Pierre also reported that
the number of visits to the site has also increased. A winner was drawn. Monique Cyr.
Due to the delay of this board meeting Pierre has already posted
the December contest although the board noted only minor corrections being
needed.
Pierre requested that suggested questions for January be forwarded to
him. There was a good discussion on
possible topic areas including Technical (specifications etc), Rules and Slang.

can provide web access directly to a users email account which can reduce spam

already doing this and found between 20 and 40 spam emails per day.
