        ----------> And that really is the point, ain't it. Too many
people here ( and other places) are often a little too focussed on
getting the win rather than enjoying themselves. You can certainly enjoy
winning, but can you enjoy the game when you lose? If not, maybe it's
time to take a deep breath and adjust a bit. It is a game, and your not
going to win any money playing it, and aren't going to get drafted by
the Epic League to turn pro. Relax. There's lots of other things to
stress on...

just goofy fun. Of course we can't _all_ play orks...
