Fellow Netgammoners,

I've set up a simple alias (challenge@sundiego.west.Sun.COM) for
posting challenges on my machine. It's fairly braindead in that it's
just a listing of email addresses of folks who might respond to an
email challenge by logging into one of Gammon servers and play.

Some simple guidelines to follow...

1) send me your internet address and I'll,

	- enter it into the alias
	- send you email when it's active (24 hour turnaround at worst)

2) To challenge - once you're active, email to
challenge@sundiego.west.Sun.COM with the following format:

Subject: CHALLENGE

time - <now, at 4:00 GMT, in 10 minutes, etc> 
who - <your login on the gammon server>


3) To accept the challenge - respond to the email

4) To play - login at the specified time and go for it.


My goal here is twofold...

	1) Have an easy to use procedure for getting a game;
	2) Collect addresses of netgammoners for tourneys, etc.

Obviously, if this alias gets to busy you can do step (5)

5) send me a request to be removed from the alias ;-)
