Dear David,

My name is Austin, and I'm a 2nd year Computer Scientist at Cambridge University. I heard about the paperchase from a friend, and I love the idea. I'm presently trying to reconstruct it, reroute bits of it which are in not easily accessible regions, etc. I would very much appreciate it if you took it off your website and get Google to remove it from their cache ( http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=35306 ). I realise it is easier with the computerised system, but there is still some of the paper ones and I'm going to try to get instructions together as for people to know roughly where they are, if they're accurate enough (the UL is moving a lot of things around at the moment). I don't want this great game to die!! My email is ama42ATcamDOTacDOTuk

Regards,
Austin
