You know, T. Andy, if Rob was to take you on one on one, I bet he'd win...
Not that THAT'S at all relevant to what I have to say...

So, maybe it's a FAQ, but that's the address for the empire mailing list?

A shout out to Mith: Hey, why not challenge that certain someone to a 
rematch of the "You're a backstabber, so I'm killing the game" game? :-)

A SPECIAL shout out to Mikey Baby..... THBBBBBBPTH!!! ;-)
Not that THAT'S at all relevant to what I have to say..
