Great idea. In fact it was one of my secret desires, but I didn't dare
to ask.
One of the -stupid- thing I would like: have the opportunity to see a
picture of each member of this club.
I was a participant in the last world championship in Paris, and I met a
lot of people there. It was great. Some of them are posting there, and
maybe I don't even know this, because all I remember about some guys is
how they look like, I just don't remember their names.
For example, take Thorsten Czub: we were in the same hotel in Paris. He
was in the room next to mine. We discovered that only here on CCC,
several month after the tournament!
A little picture would have helped a little bit in this case.
Another thing: when you know people will be able to look at you, you
refrain from writting bullshits, nonsenses or insults.
A way to become more civilized.
Sending a picture (by email) should not be obligatory, of course.
