|Well I intended to ... but frankly at the moment I feel rather
|discuraged. A simple mail with a simple question that would just have
|required a simple answer lead to a bunch of insults from people that
|does not even know me.

I answered your digest question simply and without insult.
But then, I'd skimmed through the post ans hadn't read the insulting parts
at the time....

If something doesn't interest you, fine, skip it, but don't start
complaining to the list, because if someone IS talking about it, then
someone must find it interesting... QED.

|So if I ask the same question someone had asked before what keeps the
|same from comming up again and frankly I can live without that.

HINT: Don't ask about FAB, or Grounding through quickenings.
Most other areas are safe.

|> If you would take 5 minutes to read the FAQ, it wouldn't be hard.

|Well if I had know that there was one ... I would have ... Now I
|have. I simple got the address from a fellow GameMaster and he said
|that this was supposedly a nice source of information.

It can be. It's a good idea to lurk for a while before posting.
Otherwise, you might end up putting your foot in your mouth.

(We're a generally friendly list, and feel free to take the michael of each
other when the opportunitu occurs....)

|After going thru the waste amount of mails I do recive from this
|mailing list I noticed a pattern. There is about 20 or so people that
|apparently says everything ... Most other people are just readers.

I suppose that's a fair summation....

|If they say something they just get barraged with insults and crap
|cause this has already been discussed before ...

There are a lot of taboo subjects.
When the FAQ finally wends its weaty way to you, you'll find out what they
are, and what the general concensus was, if one was ever reached....


Well excuse the
|newcomers ... Can't you people just ignore it then instead of spewing
|back your haterade over the new subscribers. GROW UP DAMNIT!

Ahem.... My my, what a temper.....

|I intend to show that I am above certain people here by not resorting
|to the same name calling as others have but to you and I guess you
|know who you are I just have one thing to say:


| "Frag you and the datastream you came on!"

Well, you can't blame us for having a little fun once in a while, can you?
I gave you the info you needed, and then responded to someone elses post
with a little insulting humour (boucing off his even more insulting
humour)....

You'll get used to it.....
