Hey, If what you say about your beating Michigan B is true (and I believe it to be,) then you're right; you are one rank higher than the rank indicated by my post. I compiled rankings for the lower brackets from memory as I failed to obtain the relevant score sheets before leaving UIUC for Thanksgiving break. I am sorry and will be more careful in the future. As for what you're saying about my children, well, yes they are a talkative bunch; they're also a batch of irreverents and they have fun playing the game. I have complete faith that no member of our house team bears any malice toward you or anyone else on your team and I heartily invite you to, well, lighten-up. As moderator of the match in question, I will say that I saw no misconduct to speak of. I further see nothing inherently wrong with posturing, in jest, for the neg championship in a decided match; if you didnt find the joke funny, so be it. I am sorry you found any aspect of your match against our house team distasteful as it indicates some failure on my part as its moderator, but I would appreciate your raising your objection where its relevant, i.e. during that match. Beyond actions affecting match play (as incessant chatter may), anything anyone has to say about the conduct of another team is, in effect, equivalent to a lampooning of another team (or, in this case, player.) I offer that this is hardly the place for such statements in spite of the recent trend towards the misuse of this forum for exactly that purpose. With sincerest apologies, hb
