a merry meet by monitor light to all circumspect bonniebonnets.. CONFESSION: last year i challenged the USA magical community to send forth their very best champions for a transatlantic-ish magical duel. UK, N.Europe & er, Canada to be represented by myself. i set up a 'kill zone' (no 'yield' option) and a simple start score: :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: UK: 1 [first point for initiative] US: 0 :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: there was a certain interest which amounted to sniffing around the combat arena, and a bit of shield bashing and sword rattling on surrounding hills.. but, NOBODY DARED ENTER THE KILL ZONE!!!! in response to a flood of emails (some from notable net-mags and others from hard-copy journals) i produced a simple 'press release' (which saved blistering my two 'typing' fingers.. ahem). in essence it explained that i won because (like cassius vs george) my bravery penetrated my opponents er, power. since then i have suffered from acute boredom! can any members suggest a cure (i too young to be old:) john
