I have spent a couple of good years at pente.org. I have met some great people and had some great games. I have enjoyed the forum discussions, the table chats, and the little pente community here.
However, I have decided that it is time for me to move on. I have a lot of serious commitments right now and in the future, and have been struggling for a while to find time to play consistantly. Next year is my final Doctorate year and then I will be getting married and travelling overseas for a while. I have so much to get done, it is going to be a full year.
I would just like to say thankyou to Dweebo for providing this site and the wonderful times I have had here. To the special people that I have met - you know who you are - thankyou for your friendship, great conversation, challenging games, and your warmth and sincerity. I will miss you greatly.

Alison, I don't know you. I only come here sometime. Never beat the computer. It would have been good to have a discussion w/ you as I don't understand how you can be both secular & athiest. I suspect I graduated from college the second time before you were born. Out 20 yrs. between first & second time. I'm bio. & chem. Spent 5 yrs. in Germany late 50's & early 80's. If you're there you'll love it. Tchuess.

Alison,
I have truly enjoyed playing pente with you and have learned so much from you. Doubt you will feel bored anytime soon, but hope you drop in once in a while to give us a good pummelling!
Congratulations on your up coming marriage and all the best on your studies!
