Happy New Year to everyone!
 
Well, it's time for me to drop the facade and finally admit the truth to  
everyone.  I have already won this game and, indeed, I am the world  champion.  
Yeah me!
 
Yes, I realize that this may come as a shock to those of you with many more  
units than me and, in fact, it was difficult for me to believe as well.   
Shortly before Christmas a friend wrote to congratulate me on my win.  I  naively 
responded pointing out that, not only had I not won, the game was not  over 
and, uh, I wasn't, uh, really doing that well.
 
WRONG, she said......and as proof she directed me to the tournament web  
site, with their results page at:
 
_http://www.worldmasters.net/wm02/showindv.aspx_ 
(http://www.worldmasters.net/wm02/showindv.aspx) 
 
So, to my shock and surprise, I was wrong and apparently all of you  resigned 
without even having the courtesy to tell me.  Indeed, I am the  World 
Champion....according to the web site and have been the champion for at  least 2 
weeks.  Wow!  I will now start writing my end-of-game  emails.....

P.S.
On the minute, teeny tiny, chance that the web site is wrong and we  are 
still playing, I will write the rest of you soon.  Happy New  Year!
