Not totally. I have the D6 calendar pretty much done. Been talking with
CD's for the past 3 months to work out details. I'm just waiting on the
website. I'm sure there is a reason that we restrict contest postings tothe
current year but I don't know what it is. If we can relax this rule, it
would be fine with me.
