My USPC score (maybe)
My target goal was 200.

I scored (presuming no typos)... 201.

Most brilliant puzzle: Tetris Crisscross. Elegant, lovely logic.

Most frustrating puzzle: Closing the Loop. I must be misunderstanding the directions -- I get an impossibility. This really should've been a puzzle I solved, yet I wasted time simply proving to myself it couldn't be done.

Best performance: Fences Variation. I might have even beat Thomas's time on this one. I finished in something like 1:30 flat.

Biggest disappointment: Atomic Fusion. I *should* have got this one. Really I should have. The bit that kept sticking me was one of the 6-pointed stars in the lower left corner of the puzzle (the SE one of the NW-SE pair). The square just to the left seems to need to head NE and close off the ability to connect those two stars, and I couldn't find anywhere else on the grid to generate symmetry. *sigh*

I just tried this and got the same results as sheehan (although I found mostly things other than the giant molecule firsat, then a subset of it, then had to figure out that all the stranded bits (and some of my other molecules) were part of the giant).

The star you're talking about is part of a symmetry set formed by, from that star, going SE, NE, NE, NE, SE.
