Look at it!  It's...it's HUGE!  It's...it's...it's the S.O.S.!

Yup, we're really moving up in the world here.  The number of
submissions just keeps climbing.  Hard to remember back to the second
episode of this season when my first post had only one rating.  Not
today!  Nosiree Bob!

I mean, just look at these numbers!

Just had to be different, didn't ya Mike? :-)

I'm working on hammering together an awk script to make my life a bit
easier as I put this thing together each week.  If successful, all
I'll have to input will be the name and #/# info.  The script should
take care of the 10-point conversion, the bar graph, and the
averaging.  Wish me luck!

The rest of this posting contains a description of the S.O.S. for
those of you who joined us already in progress.  For those of you
familiar with the system, type `n' now!



WHAT IS IT?
  The S.O.S. (Spoiler-Free Opinion Summary) is a twice-weekly posting
  made by yours truly.  The first posting is made Thursday and is
  intended to give those people who don't see the episode until later
  in the week a hint as to the quality of episode to expect.  The
  second posting is made Sunday and gives the final ratings for the
  entire week as a summary of the opinions of the entire viewing
  constituency (or at least those who participate :-)

HOW DO I JOIN IN?
  Becoming a part of the S.O.S. is simple.  After you've seen the
  episode, send me email at `jreiss@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu'.
  Include a simple rating on a numeric scale (no letter grades --
  too much controversy).  Please do NOT include any spoiler
  information.  I usually don't get to see the episodes until 11am
  Sunday, and I like to go in fresh.

This concludes this installment of the S.O.S.  Join us next posting
for more exciting adventures...

Joe
