He started to attack people, who are not even on the list and could not defend themselves (Mr. Hodges). Later it was his constant boasting that upset me and others (whom I have talked to) and now he is trying to tell us, that putting girls pictures on the web is his contribution to shogi. I have to say, that I am very sick of this and that I do regard every mail coming from Mr. Sloan as junk mail from now on. On the contrary Pieter Stouten, who is the next one being attacked has done much more for Shogi, than selling a shogi book and pictures from shogi girls. He is founder of the Dutch Shogi federation, co-founder of the german shogi federation and of FESA, the federation of european shogi associations. He founded this list and is still working for shogi (without making profit). His opinion is highly regarded in Europe. So much indeed, that his opinion will be asked for in FESA, even though he is no longer living in Europe. I think, that Pieter has done a very good job so far and I would like him to go on with it. And I am writing this mainly, so that he does not get discouraged by people like Mr. Sloan. Kind Regards, Thomas Majewski Editor of the german shogi magazin "Shogi Info"
