We have an imsa geek on our board? ;)

I can't wait for the arguements to ensue now from the other side of the fence.

[the scorekeeper]

Doh, looks like I've been outed. Address x'ed out to protect the geeky.

heh, good ole IMSA.

[Mathew]

For the uneducated IMSA is what?

[the scorekeeper]

Well...

IMSA stands for:
Insurance Marketplace Standards Association
International Motor Sports Association
International Mathematics and Science Academy
Illinois Math and Science Academy

I'm associated with that last one. It's a state-sponsored residential high school in aurora for (among other things) math and science geeks. Actually, it's a lot more than that, but those are the cliff's notes.

[Mathew]

Fair enough geek. :D:
