Hi Mark,

I love your site. Thanks for creating community. I live in Vancouver, Stanley Park right beside the tennis courts. However I am shy and really want to find tennis players. How do i do this? Do you know of anyone in the Vancouver Canada area?

Boss. On the friend listing, is there a limit as to how many of ones friends profiles will be shown? It looks like it is 100. Is that the case? If so, can we expand it? Several of the latest I just added don't show. Thanks.

No, not talking about that. Maybe the system is just slow catching up to me. I will check it again tomorrow and see. Glad to hear you had a great time at IW. Sounds like ya'll had a blast. Thanks for getting back to me on the question.

Okay, so if you look for Louis Rosas on my friends list he isn't there, yet I just got accepted earlier today. That is what I mean. I am on his, but not the other way. Any ideas?

Not sure what to do in promoting the group. Would like to see the 30,000 people at least check out the website www.naturaltennis.com I am amazed that people are not more curious about the double handled tennis racket. There are so few pioneers in the World. Most people wait to be told what to do in so many areas of Life. There is such a fear of being different in the crowd. Wow and Wow.

thanks Mr. Mayor ! I was ranked 2nd in Morocco, and then I moved to the U.S in 2005 and played for my college varsity team up in Massachusetts. But I haven't practiced since I came to NYC, I just couldn't find a good partner!

Dude, you know what should be added to this website. Like a little scoreboard in the corner or something. So when we come to the site, we can get our updates as well. What do you think? Something like the live scores applet on the Miami website. Just have it there all time.
