Congratulations,
I've only been on this list since March, and this is the first blatant
ad hominem attack I've witnessed. (there's a useful definition of ad
hominem at
http://www.best.com/~vandruff/art_converse.html)
Personally, it's the little bits of off-topic flavor that have kept me
interested in the list. The system itself is pretty dry without players
adding a little background to their games. Who am I to say that
drop-bears, meese, or haggis can't ever be worked into a campaign?
If bandwidth is a problem for you, you might consider ISDN. It's a bit
more expensive but it doesn't take any time at all to get your mail.
Lemm
