>>>>>[ I don't know how many of you folks know about this, but today
is Rememberence Day, celebrating the end of the First World War, and
all international conflicts that followed it.

I never participated in any of the World Wars, not even I'm that
old, but both of my grandparents did. For that reason I take this day
to remember. Its a pity so many people seem to have forgotten about
it: all the violence and death involved in war. The one thing I can
say for the present state of the world is that it doesn't look like
we'll be suffering through any more international conflicts that kill
of millions.

This is probably falling on deaf ears, after all, most of you
seem to make your living (hah) off violence and death, but you're
basically the only contact I have with the outside world, so I just
thought I'd post this anyway.

Lest we forget. How ironic...]<<<<<

>>>>>[ Okey-doke Goku, just remember, some of us are pretty old, and
we have memories longer than our own lives, and we cannot view certain
events in any way other than offensive.

Theres definitely enough room in the tourney, if you want to join
in feel free. *grin* My arena can handle up to 27 players, with a
branched datafeed leading out of each contestant (so an audience can
watch what each program-- DECKER is doing...). I'll see about getting
some sort of server node setup. Maybe we can turn this into an annual
event? =) ]<<<<<

>>>>[ I'll watch the duel, this should be fun, I have never been
on the matrix before. So I will just sit it out and watch this one,
as my equipment ain't nowhere near up to scratch. Although my meats
in tip top condition.
Oh and by the way, can any one get a hold of a crown of thorns as
I don't want to get a jack installed. I am currently using a alpha
test version of the crown, and the head aches are a nightmare.
Contact me if you can ]<<<<<

If you are willing, I can also provide you with a drug which will increase

receptor and interpreter for these images.]<<<<<
