Either way it will be fun.
Oh, I see, and now looking at my words again I must admit that you may be right - I sounded haughty. It was not my intention, but was carelessness on my side. I apologise. It's true that I won all my matches so far, but there are 30.000 members at subsim, and I am sure many of them play chess, and of these without doubt some play it better than I ever did. It's just that they do not show up in the GT forum so far.

And as I said, this setting of correspondence chess just meets my "needs". Playing live at the table sees my playing much weaker, and being vulnerable to miscalculations. In that I am really more an analyst than a player. Correspondence chess I have played since my school days. But my club and table-tournament days are over since more than 20 years. I do not like club routine.
