Heh, that's why I've probably been killfiled by some users over my feelings
on the issue. 🙂

Yes! they are all beautiful, all I need is an X800 Ultra or 6600 SLI. I
think that fool only have an S3 Savage 4, so he say they are all ugly.

being too dense to get it doesn't mean it failed. it just means you're

Why not? It so insane it can even find some small place for sanity, can't
it? The problem might be how to distinguish it - should anybody be
interested, that is.

Likewise, failing at your sarcasm doesn't mean those who didn't
appreciate it were dense. It just means you failed.

Valve fans say: Ooooh, it cuts like a knife! But it feels so right!

I am working on a MOD for HL2 which will enable you to use Bryan Adams
and sing his songs to calm the enemies. This will not work with steam
versions of HL2 however. The ending of my MOD will be much better and
will feature Kevin Costner himself who has recorded over sixteen hours
of dialogue for the MOD. Which is around 1/2 the length of
Waterworld.

Yeah, I know. I was just trying to nip this one in the bud, but maybe I
was a little optimistic. As Bateau points out later in this thread, we
all need to *show* our response, don't we? If no-one replies to a
comment, how does anyone know it's being ignored?

I included the non-HL2 NGs in my original response because I did
address part of my comment to them. I just thought that it was stupid
to include them in a discussion that didn't fit with their newsgroup
(they'd be reading this NG if they were interested). But obviously
everyone else who's replied to this thread feels it's important to keep
strategy and rpg gamers up to speed on this discussion.

I dunno, you try and inject a little thought into a post and what do
you get... I might as well go and top post somewhere now. That'll
really annoy people.. 😉

Yeah, go and penetrate your distal parte spinae dorsi, as far as I'm
concerned.

(What is this? A mud-slinging or a Role-playing forum? Seriously!)

We could have just ignored the original post. That would have been more
effective. But then who would know that we were ignoring it? So instead
we have this pathological "need" to show our disdain by writing
"zzzzzzz" or somesuch nonsense. Aren't people great.

Points? Points, you say! Where are they? Lemme at 'em!
Although I think there's precious few posts here that make a coherent
point - let alone awarding them.

But if there's going to be handing out of points, then let me begin by
awarding difool 1 Psychotic Ranting point. I think he's earnt it.

Doesn't this group have a point system. SO it is more deep rooted than that.
It is a 'macho little game of one upmanship"
