Ken Blake said in a message to Lawrence Garvin:

 KB> Is it time to take some official action?

We already did. Here follows a copy of the two messages I posted concerning
this situation on May 27, 1996. (It's possible your question crossed in the
mail with my notice.) You were declared winner by forfeit in all three
matches, although I now note that my original message omitted to list BLAKE
v NEVEU in the summary list. The justification did indicate intent, though.
