  Ever hear about Email? Or does your netrek cluelessness extend to your real  
life?

  Uh-huh... You're also (barely) a Captain on Bronco, and I've played alongside  
you. You continuously selected the wrong planet to be taken (ie. Skipping agris
for lord knows what reason), and you sat in a base orbitting our home planet  
the whole time. Ever hear of 'front lines', 'collecting armies', or any of  
those other things that bases have been known to do?

  I love this distinction... This guy is just parading his lack of knowing  
what's going on without any help...

  Uhhh--yeah... I'll believe that one... Some freshman from ohio state is  
already an arch-foe of Balton...  You kid yourself with dillusions of  
grandieur.

  I really don't care about "achieving recognition". When I see 'the best',
if I play well with/against them, I will be recognized. And yes, I do know who  
the good players are. And speaking of kissing ass, how about you with your
10 page post with, "So and so is cool. He's a good player". Who cares????? If  
we've seen the name before, we know if they're a good player, if we haven't,  
then we're too clueless to know what a good player is!

  Hehe... Just keep blowing yourself away buddy... He's an admiral (or possibly  
a rear admiral) on Bronco, and definitely an Admiral on rwd. He used to play  
from Wash U at St. Louis, and now plays at Berkeley. Where do YOU play if you  
haven't seen him in either of these two places? Or are you one of those who  
thinks, "fife is absolutely the best netrek server in the world!!!!"???

>Old Nick ->  Haven't seen him around, but then he never did play on real

  He plays on discovery, bronco, and rwd *regularly*, he also plays on the  
Angry Men, and is VERY good. I've seen you on bronco, otherwise I'd think you  
only played at fife, or better yet foghorn... [yes, yes, I know it's gone]

  If I (or anyone else) wanted your (uninformed, clueless, freshman) opinion,  
we would have asked for it.
