Comments : I'm the most competative person I know. If we
           are going to bother to keep score, then I am
           going to do all I can to win. That is how *I*
           have fun. Trying to win is more fun to me than
           actually playing the game. I play by the letter
           of the rules, and I expect the same from
           others. Dont come to me after a game and say 
           you weren't trying, or didnt feel like playing.
           That is an insult to me, and makes me think
           less of you. If you tell me that before a game
           then it is not worth my time playing. I dont
           want to compete against someone with a built 
           in excuse for losing. If you want to play, then
           play to win. If you are going to make excuses,
           either before or after the game then dont 
           bother to play... at least not with me. This
           doesn't mean I am a sore loser... when I lose,
           I accept it... after all its incentive to
           not lose the next time I play... ;)
