For a long time, I have been waiting in vain for the "Fruit Fan Club"
T-shirts and donations of source-code improvements of several hundreds
Elo points I had been asking for.  About the latter I have to say that
it is not very smart to delay much further: the more you wait and the
more difficult it will be, but I suppose that it had not yet been
challenging enough ...


The end

Thanks for listening, and have fun with Fruit!
