I would definitely not say that "2100 or so" is "absolutely average". I would
say that 1500 is average, simply because I like to consider myself average. :-)
I would also like to think that a person such as yourself who could beat me in
every game we played to be "better than average". But, of course, it is all
relative.

I tried to send you new stuff from my wife to the address that you suggested
(ferdinan@vtr.net), but it bounced back. Did I get it wrong?
