thanks for my nomination, I'm happy for this experience in K7 but I return a normal player for a K8 .

About Knockout i decline but for the moment i'm not against the nomination about the WCC (with personal format and idea which i could explain later).

The only thing which could be annoying is that from january 1st 2009, my job will change and i'm not sure to have enough time (surely at the beginning of the year).
