Well, I don't flame much, but I think that I have to speak my peace about
the posturing and "my character is better than yours" argument that has
been flooding the list.

First off, your character (no matter who it is) is *not* the best around.
There is always someone who has the potential to wipe you off the face of
the 6th world. Nobody wants to hear about how good your character(s) is
or about how highly initiated you are. If you really are a level 12 (ha!)
initiate, I doubt you're playing in 2054 because it would probably take
more than a few years to build up any where near that much karma, not to
mention some of the skill levels I've seen bragged about.

Next, most of us Shadowrunners here on SHADOWTK, as well as SHADOWRN, are
*not* corps or corporate flunkies. We do a hard days work and get
(sometimes) an honest day's wages. We don't have a corporation's assets
at our disposal to do with what we will. And we don't like to hear those
who do brag about it or goad people into trying to get them. NO ONE CARES!

Last, EVERYONE (repeating some of our fearless leader's words) READ THE
FAQ! Format your posts correctly and keep the bullsh!t off of SHADOWTK!
(Next time I use the carp and the munch word)

->uplink: I cc'd this to you because it looks like you can't reach
SHADOWRN from whatever dimension you're in.<-

Fed up...
