    I for one find it appalling that only C is allowed. What about Plus or Sharp? They have the same rights as the high and mighty C does. What this amounts to is pure and simple racism. This brings us right back to the coding rights movement of the 80's. I cannot believe we are still struggling.

    I'm so mad, I'm calling Jess-C Jackson. He'll get Al #ton on the phone as well.

    Having the 2006 competition run in 2007...

    It's like they are setting out to create a contest that is unclear and needlessly difficult to understand.

      Maybe they're using a 0-based year array.
