Steve, I’m sure that Joe would be willing to Arm Wrestle 
you for Mort.  The Character is used!  Has lots of leagues 
on him!

Warm regards, Rick.

Definitely Welcome but don't take back Mort. :-)

Congratulations Joe.

You site was part of what kept the spark alive. In a small way, I believe you
helped contribute to the success of the relaunch.

You are welcome to join into The Slope pbem game if you want of course.

Warm regards, Rick.
