I was a member of Samprasfanz all my life and never come across anything so hostile before.
I think that I was a member of that group as well. Were they the ones who carried the banner from tournament to tournament?
Anyway, it was a great outlet and there was no bickering or childishness.
I even had a penpal from Germany we corresponded for a few years. It was fun.
They might have carried the banner I am not very sure. Who was this penpal of yours? I might recognize her. Do you remember the President of that club? Her name is Joy and she's now a member Murray's World, the forum that I talk about from time to time. I was in touch with her but then I had to leave as things weren't working out for me there. She had sent me quite a few PMs after I left but in order to reply those, I needed to log onto MW and I wasn't very keen on that.
Such a small world we live in, innit. 
Gosh, it was so long ago. I don't even remember my screen name, so there's no way I remember hers. Joy doesn't sound familiar, but I've never been able to keep up with too many screen names at a time.
