In doing so, one week's embarassing mistake becomes the platform for next week's best effort. As it is, this is a pretty ambitious undertaking and I think the goal of posting a PAW is quite enough to realize. It might be best to wait until the year is over to introduce a new element. In the meantime maybe some of us can come up with a way to do something along the lines you suggest.
