You've obviously never waited for oil paints to dry when applied to a
non-absorbant material...

True, I'm mostly into Acrylics due to the cost...
(Besides, isn't that half the fun of oil, you can keep working with it for
days, or weeks, at a time.. instead of having your canvas dry everytime
you turn around?).

Having just joined this list the above thread does not inspire confidence in
interesting debate on SR.

Just give it a little time, we have a habit of digressing. Wait around
for a day or so and your bound to run into an ACTUAL posting on SR or
two (hundred). Some current threads are concerning the eternal
"Increase Reflexes +3d6" debate and....well gees, I don't know, anybody
know of anyother ACTUAL SR threads going on currently? (I guess that
monowire one TECHNICALLY is SR, and the "Identifying Weapons" one is
fairly close..)

Welcome aboard, David...:)

Things around here tend to get silly from time to time, but you'll find
planty of SR related topics to sink your teeth into, but there's almost
always one Non-SR thread floating around to amuse everyone...

And guys? This is one thread I didn't start... At least not
intentionally...:)

Wouldn't the woodchuck thread be a close contender? You know, "How much
wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"
...

Hmm... I guess it hasn't anything to do with SR afterall...

Hey, and YOU were complaining about high phone costs in Sweden?
So wait, I will send you ... err ... um ... hah! a complete directory
of my hard disks. Last time I realized it were about 9000 files.
