Watcha do? Hit him from the front? What did you expect, the ideal troll-
take-down weapon is two bursts of 10 from an AR or SMG..


In real life, I'd rather face an expert with a sword, becuase I know I
have a fair chance against s guy with a sword... I might be able to
run faster than him :-)


The decker upstages you? Change all the circuit breakers in his apartment
for ones that'll let through more amps, then wait for the enxt power-
board spike, and watch his little deck cook...

Where PA's really excell is going through customs and body-searches,
after all, they can't take your killing-hands off you now can they :-)



Oh, and before this degenerates, please note that our regular
List.Grumpy.Member is no longer with us, so he won;t be able to tell us
when to SHUT THE FRAG UP, if we get into a sammy vs PS argument (although
I have to admit that PA vs Decker is a new slant on it :-) )
