So, with apologies to croteam1974, atombond, HavingGoodTimes, Mr.77, tatovanoha, bakkenboy, caroline_l, glynzales, Vas, ALESSIO, EveMuirhead & Vicman1, all of whom have made their way to the latter stages of my 2011 World Championships, I have reluctantly decided to call it a day. Enough is enough!

If folk just can't be bothered, and don't even have the courtesy to reply to e-mails, then there isn't any point in trying anymore. At least for individuals.

The way ahead might be Team Curling - see
