Rallyemaster's Observations:

* As with past questionnaires, some gimmicks were both someone's favorite
  gimmick and someone else's least favorite gimmick. The favorite gimmicks
  were the digit 0 being ignored and the valid RI on the Supp/SI page. The
  least favorite was the sign on the freeway sound wall.

* I wrote Monster M*A*S*H in 2008. This rallye was a rethrow of that
  rallye, changing the them from the TV show M*A*S*H (which ran 11 seasons
  and 256 episodes) to the TV show Firefly (which ran 1 season and 14
  episodes).

* The beginner class took longer than usual in part because it needed to
  explain both the A-B style and the CM style. Some thought it was too
  long; others thought it was very helpful.

* A big THANK YOU to everyone who made this rallye possible:

  - Jerry Sotirhos and Marilyn Sotirhos who prechecked, and who also worked
    the checkpoint;
  - Bill Jonesi and Cris Wendt who prechecked my original Monster M*A*S*H
    rallye, upon which this rallye was based;
  - Steve Hartwell who worked registration;
  - Nick and Teresa Stefanisko, our illustrious awards committee; and
  - All of you! We hope to see you at December's Toy Rallye 2013!
