Hi everyone.
First off, let me say that I am truly sorry for my recent postings on the boards. You all have been very helpful and encouraging, and I do appreciate all of your help.
I found this game not more than a month ago and was smitten instantly. Just like the real game, it is profoundly difficult and yet one good shot in a round is enough to make one want to come back again. And again. And again, sometimes 'til 4 in the morning, which does not make for a happy spouse.
Unfortunately, this is also a fairly rough time for me personally, and I guess I have drug some of that baggage with me here, which should be my place of respite from my worries. I am also, unfortunately, doomed to wanting to be the best at everything I do, and to not be is really hard for me to deal with.
From here on out, I am going to do my best to try and just enjoy the game and the company, and forget about CTTH, tournaments, etc.
By the way, if anyone cares to go take a look, this is a link to my portrait site. I do portraits in pencil from photos. http://www.portraitart.net
Again, my apologies, and my thanks to you all for putting up with me.
Robert
