I have considered sending in a fake entry just to see whether they would still publish it. But it isn't worth the time. Good thinking!

I searched a bit on the web and found also on wikipedia that these people just want to make some cash on me. Sorry for them, but without you and me, there only will be 998 great minds of the 21st century - cuvee 2010 ! Regards ! JF Daisne BELGIUM Dear Mr Dingemanse,
