    I believe it was the Bugeaters. They may have to go back to that nickname.

    They just need to put some electrified strips right in front of the screen and ba big bug catcher at the bottom!! Problem solved! :)

    Seriously though I wonder what is different about the Neb Jumbotron, there are certainly a lot of them around and this is the first bug problem I have heard about.

    I'll bet Bugeater is a lurker these days, he hasn't been a very active poster in quite awhile and he's not been a happy camper since Callahan took over if I remember correctly so he's probably not very much inclined to post.

    On Roger, his health maybe the reason. Seems like when he would post it was with a lot of difficulty. Maybe arthritic hands made it hard to type, and I think he had a lot of trouble getting around.

    GORT,

    Where is AJ, the King Husker hiding out? This place is pretty dead without him around.
