This week, Flashback Friday features a gem from Scott Veatch’s Vault that I found pretty interesting. By my guess, it came out in the late 60s (edit: Scott says it came out in 1964) and it’s a list of commonly asked questions by phone callers. I suppose in today’s lingo,…
In my last article in this stat keeping series, I’m going to tie up some loose ends, give out some handy tips and hints on how I make stat keeping that much easier and answer a couple questions that have come my way in the last couple days. Plan ahead…
