Yes, it is who you think it is and I have had discussions since, and all is
well!! Granted I may have over reacted but there were circumstances which
strongly lead me to believe what I did, not least a rather weird email!!!
:-) <paranoid, me?> However, that said, I was still interested in what
people thought of the tactic in general anyway! For example, probably our
biggest "competitor" would be Gameplan, but I have never thought about
joining their games for this purpose! In fact, our latest league of 30
players we set up included 12 gameplan players that fancied playing ours AND
Gameplan which I take as a complement.

Thanks for the kind words Colin, much appreciated!! As you know it is my
first venture and very much a part time one, but one I feel after some 15
years of playing games I am excited about! I'll put you on the waiting list
shall I Colin? <chuckle>

Tell me about it, this GM thing would be easy if it wasn't for the
players!!! :-) Just kidding before everybody drops out, although you get
your problems, the ones that shout the loudest are usually the most
dedicated and are your biggest assets!!
