@Banach: Its good to see anyone from newbies to oldies, but judging from your few posts, Banach, you have a good knowledge of the game. Your last post was about 1 year ago, but you logged on in June 2006, so hopefully you're still around.
As I posted about in 2001, I think it is important (but not required) for players to post about their games, especially if they achieve results which are outside whatever 'norm' others are getting. Imagine Samson simply posting that he could land a SS with a single city, let alone a size one city, and saying nothing more. The measure is more about what players like Samson, Solo, La Fayette, Smash (where is he, BTW), Cactus Pete (a great olden days EC GOTM player), Andu, Duke, Slow Thinker (where are you ST?), Ali, Ace, Tim, Peaster (Mr. EC), and so many others over the years post for not only the active posters, but the ever-present lurkers (you non-members and guest viewers are especially invited to begin posting!!).
I just posted about that game in another thread (here), a few days ago, as an example of an interesting GOTM primarily for that reason... thinking in new ways.
