pondering....yep, that sounds the same as it was 16 years ago. And be
careful, I've gamed in NJ, nice place, glad I don't have to live there...as
for guilt by association being learned earlier, MK, don't jump on that band
wagon too early...I always felt sorry for "Computer Nerds", and I was one but
didn't consider myself so...I knew I was an Outcast...I was a Gamer. That's
a breed all it's own.

I will ask anyway...you may not be as alone as you think...I can remember any
given day of my "earlier" game years, call it a curse. But perhaps if you
choose to respond, you should do so directly and not via the group, just to
keep the OT from going too far.
