My apologies to the readers if Fleetwood and I were boring you. Some of us trace MANY lines and try to get them right. There is no "bad blood" between Fleetwood and me. We have been doing this "snailmail" before some of you were born. We will continue, but not on this board. We just thought (mistakenly it seems) that some of you are interested in some of the HUNT puzzles and constructive criticism.
