Hi Kurt,

yes, I was just sharing your joke - I knew you weren't being serious.
As you know, I've never made the claim that this tournament will produce the
best setting. It's all part of the extensive testing that Ray and I have carried
out. There is however great interest in this tournament as can be seen by the
number of views on the Winboard forum (surprisingly more than for Ray's Mega
Tournament to date) and the tournament is certainly not meaningless as far as
I'm concerned,

Regards, Graham.
