Should I assume from this that you're not in any way trying to enhance or propagate your ego here? Sorry, I don't quite buy that. It seems as if you're doing exactly what you're accusing everyone else of doing. To use your own terms: You're playing zero-sum games with yourself. But everyone his or her own pleasure. >A club, on the other hand, is a place for relationships.

I haven't initiated any zero-sum games with anyone, whatever the definition of zero-sum games might be. Besides, everything starts with oneself. What have you done in the spirit of coorperation? Nothing as far as I can tell. We have a saying in Denmark: Don't throw stones if you live in a glasshouse (loosely translated). >So long. Bye. Mogens
