Subject: Re: [TN] Element Quiz Question

Hi Mike -  Here is your "time zone" answer = I am going on holiday (aka
vacation) starting tomorrow and folks get testy if we don't have the quiz each week. Since I'll be whitewater kayaking, we have determined operating electronics underwater is a poor idea so sending out the quiz today which keeps everyone happy and some folks guessing on just when the quiz is coming out.

Its really neat how the "Friday Element Quiz" has evolved and has become a source of de-stressing for our TechNet community.

I'll send out the Quiz answer/winner shortly.

Dave
