Paul, as far as this letter from P. Stouten goes:
 
 
"Come on, there must be somebody who can take over Chris's job as
Ladder coordinator. It really involves very little work. Just a small
bit of administration. And to me it seems fun !"

Why don't you do it?  Think of the fame, the resume refercnces, the babes, Paul,
    think of th
think of the babes.  What works better?  "Dinner and a movie?" or
(proper Dean the Bean voice) "Hey, babe, how'd you like to spend
time with the worldwide shogi list coordinator?"  No contest.
(and speaking of Dean, when do  _I_ make my debut?
Another note:  met a guy last (homecoming) week (I mention homecoming
because of the admittedly impressive 99-yard run of the game, the
first of its sport I'd ever been to)  Anyway, too move away from that fragmented
non-scentence, I met a guy last week who claims to be the third or
so best Caucasian Go player on the East coast, and who plays Shogi.
He claims not to be good (I still can't tell, of course but
the only player I can find honestly inferior is Crane's Macintosh
game) but has a nice inexpensive non-Western set, the kind you should
buy me for Chanukah.
