You don't have to do anything, sure, but the fact that Mr. Character
is getting hellishly powerful, more so all the time, is getting silly.

Do you REALLY have fun playing "oh look, I can do everything" chars,
GP?

Wrong. T/D's must be changed EVERY TIME YOU WRITE. It's not like
a .sig...it's added by the telecom system/matrix automatically to every post
you write.

How easy is it to change the time/date from your posts here? Now,
multiply that by a LOT of times, due to a whole lot of anti-tampering fail-
safes. This is a major computer system that is supposedly monitored at all
times.

It's NOT the same as any other Computer modification. At all.
