What I object to is his incessant referral to 'we simmers want',
'we the sim community believe' .. etc. Frank doesn't speak for -anyone-
but Frank. If he continues his 'we-ness' posts, someone will be
there to counter him.
Thats happening now.

You might want to try reading people's posts before telling them what
they're allowed to say or not. Which you cannot hope to alter anyway (most
people don't scare easily enough to fear your verbal wrath), you can only
prevent yourself from reading it.

Do us a favor and tell Bartress that he's won . . . game, set, match, world.
I dunno if it'll work, but maybe it's worth a try.
Here's my version:
Bart, you've been correct in everything you've said in this ng. You're a
living god. You rock my world, baby.

Nobody wins or loose in this newsgroup. People simply exchange opinions,
give news and help people with problems.

I don't have a lot of time to read news, so I tend to look past form and
search for meaning, which is probably why those phrases never caught my eye
(only started noticing after you guys pointed it out).
BTW, and this is just an observation, if you're worried about ymenard
"speaking for the group", doesn't that imply his words, however ludecrous,
somehow carry some authoriy? ;-)
Anyhow, let's drop this line of discussion as I'm starting to sound like a
stuck record. There are more productive ways in which we (<---deliberate!
;-)) can contribute to the sim community. -Whattaya say?
