See the two threads in team forum dated 12/26 and 12/27 entitled "cheater....this is wrong". Stay away from this team and team captains do not play this team. They are documented cheaters. |

I will not vote this to the Team Forum because I think it was unfair that my thread was voted over there. But the point remains to be made. |
