Re: [eia] Clearly this isn't working

Thanks for the kind words, Nate.  I've enjoyed having you in the game, and
I'm sorry your recent schedule hasn't allowed you to stay in it.  I think
you overestimate Britain's future success in the current game, and in any
case whatever lead I got was as much due to luck as anything else.  Speaking
of luck, good luck in your future plans, Nate !

So where do the rest of us go from here ?
