Unofficial computer records for any (C) account:
------------------------------------------------
NOTE:  ICC doesn't confirm the legitimacy of how these
records were obtained:

     Blitz    -- 3697  wackyraces       1-05-04
     Standard -- 2978  Deveraux        11-13-02


They count as unofficial, whatever that means....
