I respect paul's point, and his postion as a teacher, but i am NOT going to apologise for my actions. had i been organizing prizes for a regional final, i probably would've done things a little differently. but as it stands, the tournament has no 'official' connections, and was only a little fun. as for BUF action, i implore you not to take any action against the ultimate community of nottingham. i and i alone am responsible for the prizes, so blame me. and remember kids, winners dont take drugs. dan. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
