It is with reluctance and sadness that I post this message.

Matt Floray died last night. He had a long term bout with cancer. Matt was not
one to let others know about the negative events in his life. I am thinking
that I am one of the few who knew he was ill.

He was my friend. We shared common interests in sports and gaming... and our
philosophies were oddly synergetic. I will miss him.

He may be remembered for being intellectual, inquisitve and unafraid to say
things out in the open. He is and was the last remaining link to the original
formulae of the games we grew to love and enjoy.

I now have those formula in my possession but it is doubtful I will ever create
charts. I do have some of the charts that were never made available to the
public (or to anyone that I know of). They were constructed using the exact
formula that was given to Matt by Dr. Nicely. In the coming weeks, I hope to
see them published to ODDMANGAMES web site in his name.

In closing, a good friend is no longer with us. I am glad I met him and I am
sorry he is no longer here.

Allow me to chip in - I enjoyed reading what Matt had to say, and I am sad he's gone.  He had his way of defending Nicely and his reasonings, but was...
