I must have skipped a line, changing from my Excel draft to the PM here on the forum. The actual replacement would be Roberta Flack. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here are my rulings on his most obscure names.... Fisk - absolutely acceptable, but my research show he passed in 2020. If so, that's on you, so keep the name but no score there. Mathers - she's the rapper's mom, but if not, she's a nobody . . . disallowed.
