To do more with them, Matt will need to agree to it and find time to do more coding. It's not like he's not thought about it. I've had conversations with him over the years. If it was as easy as some suggest, he'd have expanded the recaps long before now.

Thank you for explaining the problems with the game recaps.
I know if you have trouble with them, it would be beyond me.
They are just too complex to program well.
I always thought whoever was doing it wasn't much of a sportswriter.
I now know that game recaps are in very capable hands.
I did not know how difficult they were to condition.
Now I understand.
If you are involved in the game recaps, I know that they will be done to perfection, if that were possible.. I know how well you used to do the PBP... you were the very best person I worked with on the Beta Team years ago.
Apologize to you and Matt Arnold for my previous observations on game recaps... I did not know how involved it is.
No reason for me to volunteer for the Beta Team... if pstrickert has trouble doing it, the task is way beyond me.
