Just because this is an Epic 40K mailing (or Epic Spce Marine) doesn't mean
all of the topics discussed will be about Epic. It does mean we all have
something in common...we play Epic. Sometimes we talk about the price of a
Big Mac (Which I think is still $0.59 at participating restaurants)and
sometimes we talk about physics (void-shields and holo-fields, or what kind
of trajectory a plasma blast would follow).
I, for one, appreciate the off topic discussion ever now and then, it helps
to stimulate the mind. Some of best ideas for scenery and model making
have come from off-topic posts.
So lets stop acting like Bandwidth is some limited resource that we are
going to deplete by the year 2000. So send those emails, the telco's will
build more lines. After all we're paying for it!
