Ah, but Gurth, surely that is the whole point, even if they are all
rampaging lunatics and murderers, surely the important thing is that
they *seem* nice. There are some lists on the net, where if you breathe
wrong they'll torch you. This list, for all it's occassional arguments
and rare flames, is horrifyingly civilised. There must be something
about Shadowrun and Cyberpunk that turns us all into (meta)human beings
and governs our behaviour. Or maybe it's just that the other guy has
got a gun just as big, and is more than likely to blow one's head off
that creates this peacable atmosphere. 8)
