Chris,

I could care less about contributions that I made in the game. I just find it odd that until now, this subject of solitaire was just an afterthought. Now that someone wants to take the bull by the horn, it has to be monitored and criticized.

I am not one who likes re-inventing the wheel. I did not know that there was a section for Solitaire speak. I thought that section was for strictly putting your solitaire rules up. I never gave it much thought because no one was really exhuberant about talking about their solitaire experience.

Any association that I speak of was not intended to create a website. Lord knows I don't have that type of time. I do enjoy getting in conference calling and talking to guys who like to play the game from the solitaire perspective and exchange ideas. I would definitely like to meet some of these coaches, hang out with them, and associate in a manner that is a little different from league play.

So there's no need to read anything into this association other than encouraging guys to talk about their experiences in solitaire. You never know how your words can encourage someone else. Also, you may be willing to share ideas with these guys that may not fly in the competitive arena or tournament arena.

Just my thoughts,

Reginald
