Andre's right. "Lush" is the word which comes to mind when I see the
graphical magnificence! Of course, I got e***d about ASCII art on my PET.

There is a limit to this crap, other places to post, rather than here, which
to some of you is the OT newsgroup of the year.
If it wasn't for a few people here who do post some interesting stuff, you
elite few could have this newsgroup to your own, in your own, far-off corner
of the world.

The newsgroup is not only a dry, sterile questions in, facts out service.
It's a community, and people like to occasionally diverge and chat about a
different topic with people who they know. People who stick around here a
few years figure that out. It's like going to a conference. The conference
might be about neurosurgery, and you spend 80% of the time discussing
neurosurgery, but occasionally you talk about something else. Do you pick
up your drink and go to a different room just because you have changed the
topic?
Nothing elitist about it, and the people who are currently enjoying these OT
rambles are the very ones who keep this group going with useful, sim-related
information.

he could be talking about karussell, or maybe peralta, now that
really is far off (for me anyway).

Problem was that the census office started emailing a warning about
it, threatening $10,000 fines for falsifying census statements. No fun
and no sense of humour.

Thus spoke the whinging troll who complained about too much simulator
related discussion!

YAY I hope someday! You don't do much Usenet browsing, or you would know
that it's now basically just a bunch of elite cliques, semi-related between
each other.
