Note: This first bidding poll actually spanned two months. Originally dated “October 2000” because that’s when it ended, it is now dated “September 2000” (when it started) to avoid confusion with my October 2000 play contest. All subsequent events ran for complete months.

Names with accented or non-English letters have been converted to an English representation with a 26-letter alphabet. Many people use erratic capitalization, so I determine proper case by algorithm; if this does not correctly display your name, please advise and I will add it to the exception list. If you wish to contact someone whose name you see listed (such as a lost friend) give me permission to send your address to that person, then he or she can contact you. I will not give out e-mail addresses (these are private and go nowhere from me).
