JMD & NIRVANA: I did not mean to make it sound like it was wrong to switch accounts, just wanted to point out that with your old account, when you were an active player (before the fall out at the end), at the best rating, you were only a top 15 player or so.
I see it all the time - someone wins a few games, sometimes as little as 4 and has the highest rating. Good luck in trying to stay up there.
