Second annual Wynner Awardluncheon? Let's discuss the first an-nual award for a moment. I receivedsecond-hand information telling methat I was a winner ("BestNew PuzzleBook" or something like that). Todate,I have received no verificationof this-no trophy, no letter of com-mendation, no T-shirt, nada. Just arumor.
On the off-chance that I am onceagain nominated for a Wynner award,I hereby unnominate me. If I don'tnip this in the bud, I could end upwith an entire showcase full ofimaginary awards.
Also, should anyone provide youwith any photographs of me (thoughhow anyone would be in possessionof such is beyond me), I hereby for-bid their use. I quite enjoy my newly-found anonymity and wish it to berespected, thank you.
