I forgot to add a smiley :( (No, that one doesn't mean I wanted to add a
":(" smiley to the subject line, it means I'm ":(" about forgetting to
add a
":)" smiley to the subject... Anybody still with me? :) I corrected it now,
though :)

Oh hell, it seems like I keep saying I didn't mean things the way I typed
them, this is another case of that... I'm civilized enough to hold a
discussion without starting a fight (I think :)

All I can say is that it'd most likely been different had I known about your
previous RPG experiences...

Actually what got me going on this issue was two things: first, the obvious
referral to "my" (make that: "our") PBEM, and that you said "kept
referring
to us as ..." while in fact I only made one remark.
>Perhaps I should have included an addition: "This happened, but the GM

Oh well, it's been resolved now :)

Well, as I said before I don't see why I should be embarrased about saying
something... And of course my urge to respond on nearly any subject I feel I
have even the slightest thing to say about... (Maybe I should quit doing that :)

See the Subject: line :) You're right, it isn't SR-related anymore, it's
more a personal discussion on a mailing list... I'd be willing to take this
to private email if you want to go on, or else we could drop this thread
here and now.
>Congrats, by the way, on thoroughly spamming my mailbox... *boggle*
With the sourcebooks thing? Come to think of it, I'm now wondering whether
_I_ even received it...
