year after I post the results of the toteboards, I get sad
emails from firms that want me to accept their numbers late.
This would, of course, typically result in kicking other firms
down in the rankings \u2014 other firms that got their numbers in
on time. Please help to reduce the number of such sad emails
that I will receive this year. Maybe you are a person at your
firm who is responsible for getting these numbers in. If so,
please get your numbers in! Otherwise, please forward this
blog posting to somebody at your firm to make sure that
somebody at your firm gets the numbers in for your firm.</p>
