I guess I don't see what value you're trying to instill on this list by
lambasting FASA every single chance you get. Silly me, but I was under the
impression that this particular message board was for SHADOWRUN
conversation (you remember Shadowrun, right? Those card-like thingys that
you use to play the game?)

Below is a section of the FAW for SRCard...

<snip SRCard FAQ>
Flaming
The New Hacker's Dictionary defines the Flame as:
1. vi. To post an email message intended to insult and provoke.
2. vi. To speak incessantly and/or rabidly on some relatively uninteresting
subject or with apatently ridiculous attitude.
3. vt. Either of senses 1 or 2, directed with hostility at a particular
person or people.

I'm sure there are alot of people that might actually agree with your
opinion of FASA, but this is not the forum for it. Discussing delays in
the game, the future of the game, or aspects of the game do belong here,
but showing the rest of us your mastery of derogatives isn't.

BTW, the purpose of this message is NOT to flame anyone in particular or
even in general. It is to hopefully clear up some misconceptions as to why
this list was started in the first place.

Welcome to the Sixth World...play nice if you want...doesn't matter....I'll
bet your life that I'm a better shot.....
