Does the sulphur corruption decrease satiation too? I remember spitting
the sulphur corruption for a while to try to decrease satiation to eat
a corpse, but don't recall it going down. Perhaps I was super-bloated,
or maybe it just doesn't decrease satiation.

It certainly does decrease satiation. I've used it for the same purpose
and it works just fine; sometimes you just have to spit 3-4 times,
sometimes more.

Twinge, even though your posts are usually quite interesting, I have some
problems with your way of quoting. Sometimes you answer several different
posts in just one reply, and it's not always possible to sort out the
attribution lines. Especially the first point is problematic for me, as I'm
using a threaded newsreader, and am frequently confused when quotations from
others appear in your articles without being in the article you're replying
to. I'm quite certain that you know the r.g.r.a FAQ, and it's really clear
about how to quote. So to improve my enjoyment of your posts [I'm being a
flatterer here, see! :)], please try more to stick to the usual conventions.
Thanks in advance!

Cheers, Gero

Fair enough. What would be the prefered method by the people here? I
assumed replying to each message individually would get kind of spammy
myself, but that's an option. The other way I'm thinking of is what I
did in the post I made right before this, where I made sure to leave who
said what but still did it all in one message.

fwiw, I don't have any problems reading your responses, *shrug* There may be
some issues I'm not seeing or aware of though, I don't use a heavy duty
newsreader (though I don't use google either)

FWIW, I find a separate message per reply much easier to read.

I agree with you just merge two sub-threads if they are roughly about the
same.

I would really, really prefer reading a seperate post for each message
that you're replying to. The traditional Usenet representation of messages
is in a tree structure, not a time-based one. So, if you're using a threaded
newsreader, all replies to one postings are displayed consecutively,
followed by replies to the next article. By your method of merging several
postings into one, I frequently find quotations inside of your messages from
articles I haven't read yet, because they are further down the message tree.
You might see that this may result in confusion or me missing your point,
because I lack the required context.

And by the way, thank you for taking my suggestion so easily. It can be
quite tricky to utter criticisms in a Net-based way of communication without
offending others.

Cheers, Gero
