other news:
None, besides me being a complete idiot in the last update and claiming several people to be newcomers when they weren't.  Never underestimate the stupidity of people... even yourself. :)
So, sorry to those who were incorrectly acknowledged. -- You'd think I could mentally keep track of the 20 or so players on this site, but I guess that was beyond my abilities.  = |

Go ahead and change your name,  meine Liebe...  underneath the spreading chestnut tree, I sold you...  and you sold me.
