Yeah, still can't add topics. Bummer.
We will pass another team in 10 days, so I will start that countdown early.

Slipping past dave, and slowly gaining on you texas.
Just got rid of two of my machines, but replaced them with another. One of my fast systems has been down for the better part of a week and won't be up until this weekend (assuming it's not too serious).
I should be adding another at the very end of this month (but it will probably replace two others), so probably not much if any of a gain.
I spent a few moments dorking around and found that FR doesn't seem to recognize many of the listed topics. Tried to add "vanity; culture; misc" and got an error stating that vanity and culture were unknown topics. This despite the fact that they're listed as valid topics here:

I did finally get misc to work, so we've advanced from nonexistence to miscellaneous; an improvement of degree if not actual substance.
