	Did I say anywhere that I had distributed it?  I DID give somebody a
   copy of the vanilla client compiled for a VAXstation, but that was it.

	I've hacked my copy of Beef enough that I'd be ashamed to give it to
   anybody.  I've added a bunch of things to it, like auto-login, auto-UDP,
   etc., and wanted to give the person something I KNEW wouldn't blow up in
   their faces every now and then.

	Hell, if you want to see netrek screwed up for awhile, maybe I should
   post my copy of reserved.c to this newsgroup.  Things would really get
   hopping then, eh?!

	Have you ever played the Beef client?  So much extra info it blows
   my mind.  Wow! 

	People who worry about the effectiveness of Beef(the version I have,
   anyways) either don't know what they're talking about, or are the type
   who'd get upset if they were playing basketball against somebody, and that
   person was wearing a different(possibly better) brand of sneaker.

   Sounds like Sour Grapes to me...

> Might as well change it to OggBait.  BTW, where do you play, mostly?  

	Here and there.  scws9, rwd4, bigmax, and anywhere else that gives me
   a low enough pingtime.

	Really, if that posting was supposed to wreck my day, or make me
   kowtow to your point of view, then you've failed, and should try again!

	I've been playing since sometime this Winter, and show no signs of
    improving!

	I tend to take things too seriously, and generally have to
    quit out of the game after 10-15 minutes after my adrenaline pegs the
    meter.  I'm a loner, and generally avoid involving myself in t-mode games
    as I'm in for my own amusement, not for "the team", which doesn't always
    interest me.  This definitely limits my effectiveness, but I pretty much
    get what I want out of netrek, amusement-wise.  

	Stiff fingers...(!?)
