It's okay. I'm just glad everything is okay. I was worried there. Did you win 
your picture battle? :)

I love that you left room for the extra track. It is in the plans to one day 
go back and add that part of the game.

Not a problem, I'm glad you repiled. :D

I love the layout of the boards. I have a few concerns that I think we should 
take into consideration before we add the boards. The jumpers are very tiny, 
it's hard to see them. How hard would it be to make them larger so you can 
see what number you're at? The only other problem is that the highest stake 
you can have in Cribbage is 7, but we display 10. For the sake of simplicity, 
lets make the rule that the size is limited. 

                I egarly await your reply,
                        John
