Hello Frank, hello world,

I am proud to announce that the DCI has finally reacted to my appeals
concerning my DCI number. Gordon Culp, the database administrator, sent
me an e-mail regarding the problem.

As it appears, several DCI numbers which were originally planned for use
in Europe have been sent to Japan accidentally. They were recalled, but
not before some of these numbers were given out to Japanese players. The
European numbers were also given out in the last few months, and this
led to several DCI numbers in the 200,000 area representing two
different players in Japan and Europe. As Gordon Culp told me, the DCI
is now re-issuing new numbers to the Japanese players, and the European
players can keep theirs.

I am really glad the case can be settled that easy, and congratulate
Gordon Culp for quick and decisive action. If that is a sign of a new
DCI policy, I am really amazed about their change of mind.
