At least one that appreciate the work we do to give perlgolfs to the ppl :)

I miss a post mortem discussion too, but i guess we cant force ppl to talk 
about their solutions. I were never close to finding the 44, since i got stuck 
at a ()x solutions .. It was fun to see that two of the 44's were different 
algo's. I was talking with ton about how a tiebreaker could have seperated the 
field but he didnt think it would matter since there werent much you could 
change in the 44. i guess he was wrong ;)

Good to see new faces on the board too. There is nothing to bring out a crowd 
like a problem where most of the players can get in shooting range of the pro's 
:)

After som pressure we actually started a new golf last nite. Sorry that i 
havent announced it before, but i tend to forget this list. I send a mail to 
everyone that have submitted their email adresses, and the #perlgolf crowd are 
always the first to know. Just a hint to those who want a head start on the 
competiotion ;)

This one might be a bit harder, so i dont expect a big turnout, but we can 
always hope :)
