Ok, well i am using this in several of the projects i have done now. Its a definate worker. I also "drop" a player at the start of one of my games... this works fine with NAN --> 0.99 fudge. Ugh. sorry its so ugly... :) Si

For what it's worth, I looked at that while I was doing my reviewing. Looks good PerfectDork.  I would have playtested it for you, as would many others. With major titles avoiding the Community Portal we may well be forever reduced to massage apps and monitor tests. *Shudder* This is a sad day. I feel some coding coming on. Well done ...
