15. There was a rumor I got asked about saying that Billy Smith of LCP was going to buy the NPPL. Phone calls to Billy and representatives of the NPPL resulted in much laughter and of course a flat denial from both parties.
16. So I had this fantasy about the NPPL this past weekend… http://thefordreport.com/2010/08/imagine-ramping-in-the-nppl/
17. Rumors of an NPPL KillTeam on the way to my house are patently false. Frank Connell himself stated that he was rather pleased with the editorial, and no KillTeam had been dispatched.

It’s going to be a wild one since it’s the OG Forums’ “Meet ‘n’ Greet” game…last year’s Meet ‘n’ Greet was all sorts of silly at Fulda Gap.
