@zborg: my game of Daeth was the cause of his demise. He accused me of cheating and you were throwing oil onto the fire of the discussion between Daeth and me. In that discussion he told that he was using engines all the time.

Should I not live on for ever in the memories of you all in eternity for that?
I closed Daeth.
