Not likely. I'm at my computer most of the day and I usually sit here and
refresh CCC to avoid having to do any actual work :)

The issues I was discussing have absoltely nothing to do with the Peter Skinner
issue, whoever he is. I was discussing the negativity of Mogens and Andrew. That
is a seperate issue as far as I can tell, since it could have been Kevin or Bob
or Bruce who tried to start the tournament and then backed out after recieving
hate mail, promptly followed by negative remarks by Mogens and Andrew. I really
don't care who they were acting this way towards. At the time, they had none of
this knowledge which we still do not know to be true. It sure sounds like bad
news for Kevin, but it's not impossible that he has a reasonable explaination,
which I personally don't think he will, but we'll see. Maybe I was out of line,
but at the time all I was doing was wondering why a couple of guys were just
saying things that didn't matter to a guy who was trying to do some good. If
Kevin happens to turn out to be a fraud, it won't change the fact that I don't
like the way those two acted. I just didn't see any need for them to express
those comments at the time given the situation. Apparently the guy had just
recieved rather harsh hate mail and I don't think what he really needed was
people telling him they had no confidence in him. What's the point in even
saying things like that? Why not just keep your mouth shut if you're just going
to complain?

In any case, I suppose I'm getting to the end of my rope here and I'm "just
complaining" now, so I'll let it rest. I have better things to do than argue all
day long anyway. I don't know why I let myself get caught up in the politics of
life. It's pointless arguing with some people.
