Truly slower, lately. Hadn't connected it with Grand Slam, but I'll bet you're right. I see you are updating your profile at every opportunity (responding in a way so as to widen your "opportunities"?) which would have been my suggestion. Actually, doing this has started really getting to me -- all the info I'm giving them about me for ~ $.10 per round. Then, I just remembered to do "CCleaner" on my computer, and I see all the cookies they've put on me, even though I think I clear the cache in more minor ways often. I know, the latter are a fact of life nowadays. The point: We sure are selling "ourselves" cheaply, especially during these droughts.
