I am going to brag on myself for a couple of minutes. I started this game about 14 months ago with no idea on how to play. Following the forums and ppxchat.com website (no time for chatting with 3 kids and all) I finally made it into the Top 25 and therefore on the main page of the ppxchat website. I really can't believe my eyes seeing it there.

Now for the reality, I realize that this achievement is largely due to the frustration of earlier players up and leaving so, I basically passed them because I am too stubborn to leave.

Finally, a tribute to the player I passed to make it into the Top 25, dabuttminster, who was such a passionate player that apparently left over the frustrations with the website transition that we are all dealing with.

Now with keno and pso hot on my heels (and I am vacation, darn the luck), my time will be short-lived, but I made one of goals. The last one will be to own 1000 of every stock. Once that happens, I am gone to try something else.
