Well, that gets into a whole realm of philosophy as to whether or not
one should take responsibility for the relationships they have with
their neighbors that is sufficiently convoluted that we probably
shouldn't go there. I am willing to discuss it privately however :)

Just be careful you don't flame anyone on ShadowRN.

GridSec members are required to have tact. Without tact there is no
respect and we can't do our jobs. This is something we learned in the
first week after we were given our jobs.

Sorry, if you post something to the list anyone and everyone has the
right to respond to it. It you don't want anyone to repond to a post,
don't post it.

Have fun,
Play nice,
-David, your friendly neighborhood GridSec Assistant :)

Sure enough. Sounds like fun. Where do you want to start?

Good thing I'm not GridSec or you'd probably have a lot less people on the
list. \=)

Well, I actually meant just the last bit why bothering, but I suppose it's
my fault
for not wording it better.
