Howdy Folks!

Stargrunt.ca just got a message from a fellow looking for some GZG gamers in
California (of course,.ca would fool most unwary Americans because it is also
the abbreviation for California in postal codes, but it actually means CANADA
as a TLD). I sent him a link to Mr.Kochte's Player Locator, but I'm never sure
how up to date that is. If any Californians want to drop me
an e-mail, I'll drop Bill your e-mail address as a
possible hit.

Like to facilitate people playing *good* games. And speaking of which, where
the heck is Mr.
Arlauskas and WCC-next? :) If there is a Web
Link, I'll forward that to Bill too.

I'll also suggested he join this list:)

Tomb.

PS - Anyone confusing California and Canada in
December on a plane ticket would have a rather unfortunate time. Especially if
they forgot their Snowshoes, Mukluks, and team of sled dogs...;) <Runs to hide
from fellow Canucks!>
*ROFL!*

This happens from time to time. I remember reading about some Californian web
sites that were none too happy about having to give up their.ca address. It
seems that they somehow managed to register.ca addresses when they weren't in
Canada. They had to give them up, or change them to.ca.us.

To be honest, I always thought that the country codes should have been two or
three letters, as.can is far more recognizable as Canada than.ca. You'd still
have Austria and Australia confused, though...

The problem with.can is that the Narns would get very tired, with domain names
like trash.can, i.can, soup.can... I mean, it is bad enough that soon there
will be site called sue.us (even if it is highly appropriate...)
