Good to hear you've been having a good time! Re: battlegrid: you're most welcome! I've shown it to the folks present at the SLC Editathon today, and everyone found it useful. Please don't hesitate to send any feedback or suggestions this way.
We had a really good time here in Salt Lake. The turnout was good by our standards (5 people, 2 new). We did not accomplish a lot of mapping but we did discuss a potential Utah address points import extensively. Also, because we all agreed this is a pleasant way to spend a Saturday afternoon, we are introducing a new monthly event, the Saturday Mapternoon!
