You're welcome!  

I'd be interested to see a rewrite on Scribble; I think it's darn near perfect as is. It's by far the best 'comparable to Scrabble' game I've played online. I'd like to see players pay attention to the chat but I'm not asking for a return to nasty comments - I'd really like to see more congratulatory comments (like nice play or excellent move) but since I forget to do it, I can't fault others for not doing it.

Thanks for the games, Tom, even if we don't say if very often.

What exactly could/would be re-written in Scribble? Promise not to change the scoring system! -- it would render the Top 50 List invalid... or at least, would require the use of a conversion factor to convert to "new scores"  ;-)

Come to think of it, other than cosmetic changes, I can't think of *any* change that wouldn't ultimately change scoring -- even changing tile distributions could potentially change the game.

How about cylindrical Scribble where the board wraps around on itself left-right?  ;-)    Toroidal Scribble? I got nothing, here... heh
