how long have u been a blitz member?

[Rico (FGM)]

Hi guys -- lazily scanning across various MB's and this thread made me feel all teary-eyed and nostalgic.
I vaguely recall joining the Blitz way back around August 1999 under my old handle Schnitzelmeier and before I knew it I was organising tourneys and the like...lived trough the great schism and the coming together again in the New Blitz... before crossing over to the Dark Side of CM. :whis:
Still remember the old guard... Earl, Laza, Von Luck, Niemack, Amico Fritz, umbro, Tom Mould, Baron von Beergut (still my favourite ladder name, ever!), Thor, Herr Nash, Grey Ghost, Krispin, Larry Webb... sound like names from a distant past...LOL
Every now and then I toy with the idea of taking up CS again (still one of the greatest wargames ever!)
