Well everyone,

   The time has come to say "goodbye" to the bolo community.  Because of time
constraints, job interviews, etc., etc. I will no longer be participating in my
favorite obsessive/compulsive behavior.  I do want to say thanks to many of you
who throughout the years has made this community an enjoyable one to be a part
of.  I hope bolo will always be around, but I have a feeling that eventually PC
bolo will take hold, and the bolo world as we all have known it for so many
years will change.  That is better than the alternative of bolo simply fading
away...

My friend, the first I played internet bolo with, may the wind always be at
your back.

or whatever results in your games being on the tracker for ages on end
