	Comments so far:

	1. Some people have complained that I did not mail to them
	to determine if the mail paths were workable.

		In my opinion this is not important for me. First
		I should not disclose anything I would not disclose
		to everyone so to regulate myself I will only post 
		to net.games.pbm. Second the more important part
		of things are the paths between each of you not
		between me and you. If people find this unworkable
		I will ask one of the alternates to fill in.

	2. Since people did not seem to get the posting as quickly as
	I thought they would I will change the due date for the first
	move back to the beginning of business on the 17 of March. Word
	of warning I get in early so don't plan on sending anything in
	on Monday it won't get here in time. Also I will arbitrate based
	on the lastest set of moves that you send in. I have recieved
	1 set of moves so far. This is wise in that if your machine or
	even mine doesn't get the mail as fast as you would like you
	can have a backup set of moves available. (Much better than 
	holding especially in the early moves). If you would like to
	you can number the moves that you send to me so that I am
	absolutely positive which moves you intended. 

	3. As a general note. I take a very liberal towards ambiguous
	or incorrect moves. If the move can be interpreted in 1 way 
	and 1 way only then it will occur that way. But if it has multiple
	meanings nothing will happen. Example:

		A Brest -> Mid
		Brest -> Mid
		F Brest -> Mid

	Since there is only one unit in Brest and it happens to be a fleet
	then all of the above moves can only have 1 intention. which is to
	move the unit from Brest to Mid. However:

		F Con -> Bul

	Would not work because it makes a difference which coast was intended
	so this move could have 2 meanings and would not work. So watch so
	those coast markers.
