Mark,

first of all, I'm sending this to the ShadowRN list too, I feel that's the
right thing to do....

If only a fraction of the posts on this subject were so tactful and deep as
your last, there wouldn't be any problem. I, personally, don't have anything
to prove to anyone and I'm sure I can say the same for many listmembers. So
I don't have to scream or resort to use personal attacks to drive my point
and the same thing I noticed about you. I'm not worring about having a
conversation about merit and flaws of SR3, as long as this conversation
keeps a civil and polite tone.

What I cannot stand is people coming on the list basically saying "I've
never used SR3, but I know it sucks".

This happened several times in the latest months, from people who supposedly
were on this list for some time... there is a FAQ to read, there are basic
manners (I know, I look like a polite-manner-fanatic, but trust me, if the
real world conversations were to be like online ones, we probably shot each
other in the head after 20 seconds of discussion) and, most important,
you're not writing mails and replies to a machine. There's another person on
the other side of the screen.

This been said, I have to admit that I still have to read *all* SR3, so this
makes me uneasy on commenting about people who bashes it without knowledge.
After all, I probably don't have a lot of it... but this won't keep me from
being royally pissed by people who think they have an opinion, while they
are just spewing out whatever passed by their little mind at the moment.
This is not your case, fortunately... :)

And no, I'm not Dr. Doom in disguise...
