Really !?

You must not have much of a life apart from sitting in front of a PC
typing meaningless troll-fodder like the above statement.

My favorite thread headliner from you is still the one titled "Steam update:
Making your life easier" but I gotta admit, this latest glorification
deserves a lot of credit too. For your next
I-can-only-speak-from-my-own-experiences post, I'd like to suggest "Steam
saved my Hampster!".

Er... it links to an article about old fashioned mechanical engines
powered by vapourised water under pressure. I've only skimmed through
it, but I don't think it even mentions PC games.
Walter must have posted here accidentally instead of rec.railroad.
Silly Walter!

Are you sure you're OK, difool? I think some of the froth may have got
in your eyes.

If the Steam engine would be anything like the old faithful white seat
in my bathroom, I'd agree with Mitty.

if i had wrote it i would had the full group flaming me, but i guess
in here like in many other places, some are more equal than others

and btw, steam is the least innovative piece of software ever released
cause its just putting together a group of old technologies and making
it the mandatory war machine to conquer and monopolize pc games
the "innovation" about it is being the NEW EVIL in pc games

Awe, he's good for this newsgroup, but when it comes to Steam IMO he's lost
his objectivity. He may accuse me of the same. *shrug* That's what makes
the world go 'round.

I'm very wary about clicking on tinurl links in general just in case I get to
see that guy pulling his arse open yet again! 🙂

That's a good policy to follow.... or at least to wait around to see others
post.... but me and mitty have banged heads before and I feel right into his
trap. He got me 😉
