Heh heh, so only maps beginning with A thro to D eh Bobbins!!  Good idea!
Wonder if it'll catch on?  Seems that most people like C's and S's and a few
T's and U's!! lol

Good idea about the favourite map thingy, I'll look at this too.  Both me
and TT liked what Girri had said about the maps that come in first etc, but
this would only give an advantage I guess at the end of the voting period,
and would mean one hell of a lot more work.

Both your idea and Girri's will be looked at, its nice to be getting some
feedback from all you guys now.

Perhaps the Niche is here to stay!

Thanks for your support
