JL I repeat if you want a French team go ahead with my blessing but I still dont agree with the ITBYC rules, in the UN we can keep your Brilliant site as it is and for now make two teams of 4 and keep adding members untill we have enough for three teams of 4 and then five and so on ad infinitum, we can also at present "adjust the teams by swapping players to make an even challenge and to learn the strategies better, as ever this is just a suggestion and I wait to see what you all think. Cheers, John. --- On Wed, 26/5/10, jd-pmc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <jd-pmc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: jd-pmc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <jd-pmc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [acc_tr_vsk] Strategy for the UNT To: acc_tr_vsk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Wednesday, 26 May, 2010, 8:28 Hi John, hi good fellows ! Thanks you Marco and Rick for the great competion you set up yesterday (i shall need a little bit time to put the scores lol)! Thanks you John for your sincer feelback. I also had messages from other UNT mates which all rejected the idea i had launched. That is a important point because UNT is not mine but own to all us who give life to it. Belower I however regive the problem we have to face together.

UNT becomes too large. That is the MAIN point. I wish that you say what you think, because in the site, we invit people to join. If we want to stop the recruitment, we have to delete this invitation. Do we want to stay no more than we are ? Do we want to stay open ? I suggest an alternative: UNT stays as now (8 skippers) but its site and mailing list can be used to ease to found and to organize new teams. What do you think ? Amicalement, Jluc
