I agree with all the compliments of the others here, and wish you the very best.
I too am very dissappointed, but perhaps you are leaving at a high point for CM,
when seeing the latest Utzinger settings. Maybe you thought "That's it. It's
viewed the top of the list, if not been placed there in time. I'm relieved and
let it be as is (which is good enough, as CM wasn't intended to necesarily
compete for the top of the rating lists anyway)".
