| (...) If it's decided that the arbitrator does not automaticly signal, then a touch sensor could be added to the signal line, which starts the match. Then, the lucky person going first, doesn't also get 1 free turn. But, actually, I think it could (...) (21 years ago, 17-Oct-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
