Thus, it happens. Happened. Whatever. Amusingly enough, you posted this on Date: Mon, 07 Dec 1998 20:46:39 -0500 (EST). The message today was posted on the 19th. That is 12 days, not 14 and thus even if it had been legal, it has now (via this message) been pointed out publically as an illegal manipulation of the Game State. --JT, Just making double sure.
