I probably shouldn't say anything at all about this, but I've been 
mentioned more in the past couple days than I have in years on this 
list.  Josh and Andy -- I appreciate your comments immensely, and I 
will miss you guys as much as I will miss actually playing.  To 
whoever wrote the anonymous negative comments about me, I will just 
say that I have never claimed to be a great player, and I do realize 
that the only great stats I've ever put up were at tournaments with 
fairly easy questions, and, for the most part, inferior 
competition.  Obviously this means that I am not up there with the 
Subashes and Matt Weiners of the world, but I fail to see that it 
somehow makes me a bad person or a joke.  

As far as the best player debate goes, I haven't seen that many of 
the players mentioned in the original post, but it seems to me that 
Subash's numbers speak for themselves, at least among active players.

Lastly, I hate to do this, but the only time I've played Jason 
Mueller, he won.  So, while I certainly don't think he's the best 
player in the Midwest, I can't say I'm better.  If anyone cares, my 
vote in the midwest goes to Mr. Mackenzie, with Matt from Iowa State 
(sorry man, but I'm not going to attempt your last name :) a close 
second.
