A very good entry from you, Jeff, with 10 correct answers, also. :thumbsup:

Posting of the winner's name only was implemented a few months ago, Jeff.

Previous quizzes were also updated to reflect the change.

The winner of each quiz doesn't always have all ten answers correct.

We've had winners with only nine or eight answers correct because no one got all ten or even nine correct.

Sometimes it's because someone who did get all ten correct has previously won and is not eligible for another win yet.

This lets the winner of each quiz shine without making them feel like they didn't do best by knowing that they only won because someone else who got more answers correct was ineligible to win.

Giving a shout out of your accomplishment like you just did is very welcome and I'm sure will draw a few thumbs up from fellow Songfacts members, as well.
