Subject: Latest Ladder, Chris goes begging *again*

Hello,
 
	The following list is the latest Ladder list.  PLEASE let me
know if you're either:
 
	1 - not on the list and want to be;
 
	2 - engaged in a game that isn't shown.
 
Note that for option 2 above, you *must* be within 5 places of the other
player you're challenging for the game to count for the ladder; of course,
you can play anyone you want, but only 'legal' games will count towards your
ladder standing.
 
--------------------
 
Update on the reasons I've been begging for someone to take over the ladder
coordinator position.  I just accepted a job in another state, and so I will
be off of the net entirely for probably two weeks to a month.  Accordingly,
I must pass on the mantle of Ladder Coordinator.
 
I have a bribe to offer that's new: I've just rewritten the rules to make
the decisions of the Ladder Coordinator FINAL!  Now you can wield unlimited
power!  :-) :-) :-).  Seriously, I've just integrated Pieter Stouten's helpful
comments into the newest version of the rules, which I'll post soon.
 
Please folks -- let's keep the ladder going in my absense.  It's possible
that I'll be able to take it up when I return to the net, but don't assume
that you'll only have the leadership for a few weeks.  In the worst possible
case, it may be quite a while before I'm back on. :-(
