Due to popular demand and since my real gripe was with the change in attitude at standard MARP I will un-zero my tournament scores only.

I still have a problem with the way the MARP scores/attitudes are changing but someone else was also complaining that my sudden withdrawal from the tournament had had too drastic an affect on the standings.

Whether or not I choose to submit any new tournament recordings is still undecided and I certainly don't intend to return to MARP itself for sometime yet.

I have 3 kids and a wife expecting more of my time these days and I'm working on a "free" programming project for a Budget Advice Trust that needs a new Y2K compliant system before the end of this year and being a trust doesn't have the money to spend commercially. While these are also part of the reason I dropped my scores - so I wouldn't feel the same urge to record some more games - I was not happy about the new attitude in MARP.

I'm sure everyone welcomes you back but are hesitant because they're not sure if it's their attitude that's the new attitude you are not happy about :) welcome back whole heartedly! even though you made me not have 300 tourney points anymore :(
