This is an example of wasted bandwidth for those who did not understand what
I was talking about. You see all this junk. Well, you would probably skim
over it, reach the one line comment at the bottom, and wonder what he is
talking about. Now, if one were to only include the parts that were
important, and snip everything else, writing <snip> to show that it has
been edited, then it would be a lot easier. I apologize for re-sending this
drek, but it needs to be there to prove my point.

Wow, that's a lot of junk you've already read, now read his one line comment

>page 15 says hicth a lift once per phase not per turn

Do you even remember what he is replying to? And that's not all, he didn't
sign it, so if I wanted to dispute what he said, I wouldn't know who I was
talking to.
