ooooppps!!!!

mine
--ID <hh:mm:ss/mm-dd-yy>
notice it doesn't have that little space before the hh - does that matter

I use a tab - it seems to tab over about 8 spaces

-- this was tabbed
-- this was eight spaces

Also - If your decker could do this - don't keep in having them change thier
T/D stamp in every post - try to keep how you mess with it consistent like

-- Spirit <Of the Matrix>
-- Circuit Breaker <changes every once in a while>

and don't make it too long either.

ehh. Spelling mistakes can be made by runners also. some runners can't spell,
many just go by icons and symbols. What comes up on the screen it what they are
thinking in their head (complete with colloquialisms)

>There, Their, and They're are not interchangable! Neither are its and it's!

these ones are just plain bad.

>ONE SPACE after a comma or period, not two!

actually - its two spaces after a period.

yes - but do you have the money to get here - and if you do - do you want to go
out and have a drink first and talk about role-playing before you beat the
stuffing out of us? :)
