Re: [eia] Clearly this isn't working

    For the record, I echo JJ's sentiment.  If you're still listening, Nate,
I'm sorry you weren't able to stick with the game.  I think it's safe to say
that you took Austria in a completely different direction than we had ever
seen before in any of our previous games.  You definitely made things
interesting!  :-)  And on a personal level, you seemed to be a good-natured,
good-humored fellow.  We'll miss your presence in the game.

Best of luck,

kdh
