These are the people who love climbing mountains "because they are there"
(was that Sir Edmund Hillary?).  Not everyone can get to the mountains, but
everyone can get to a window.  You will notice from the historic works you
quote that most peasant types werre eternally ***.  Although royalty and
the elite had access to high windows, most peasants had simply a low window
opening to the pig pen where they landed after being thrown out.  Similarly,
most English cottages are low-slung.  In fact, when I visited London, the
budget hotel had the windows of my room were sealed shut, presumably to halt
anyone who got the urge to turf their mate out from a height (the foyer
windows could open).

So, there you go, proof.

...the rest snipped...

No, the quote is often mistakenly attributed to Sir Edmund but it was
actually George Mallory who uttered that phrase. Mallory is still believed
by many to have been the first man to make the summit of Everest (although
he did not survive) on June 8th, 1924. A very interesting story but
decidedly off topic unless we throw in Hemingway's reference to the only
true sports... mountian climbing, auto racing, and bull fighting. (obviously
not a complete quote but it serves to mention motorsports and thus my post
is saved from being completely off topic.) ;)

Jeez, I think he's got the message that in general there is disagreement
with the tone of his first post. He's already retracted it and said he
didn't _mean_ to offend. Can we stop abusing the poor fellow or will you
only be happy after a public ***?

dont you love how RAS totally ignores actual content and answers to
questions, but instead continues mindlessly with unending ramblings about
nothing at all?

why even bother...

Hang him, cut him down while he's still alive, disembowel him and
finally cut his head off :).

I appreciate the support, but that's the way it goes in this newsgroup. Dare
to speak your mind and you WILL be ritually  abused by one and all. It's a
sort of bonding session for r.a.s subscribers. You either toe the party line
and say nothing, or else.
I was under the misguided impression that this place was open to all for
creating  public debate on all things sim related. I did realize after the
first few replies that my message wasn't going to be accepted in the manner
I intended, and for that I am sorry. But I certainly didn't deserve the sort
of abuse I received from a couple of the regs here.
Cheers.

I'll try to ignore most of the ***you typed and just deal with this small
section.
The commonly used term "put up or shut up" is not abuse. Why you think it is
baffles me.
You are trying so hard to impress your pals with your rapier like wit,  it
makes me cringe.You obviously did not read my original post. That is why you
"still don't understand why you didn't first ask if anyone had seen any hard
evidence before assuming
that there wasn't any?"
If you did, you might have noted the following couple of sentences that I
cunningly slipped into the message.
"Has anyone actually seen this game running ? Just a brief glimpse,
maybe ?"
Also, "rummers" wasn't the word you were looking for, was it ?
The smile helped a lot, thanks. Without that, I don't know if I could have
made it through the day !
I admit, I was being a little condescending before, but if I had known I was
dealing with a couple of 8th graders, I would have been even more so.

redTed had a good hard strain amd deposited this turd like post:

Your not getting off that easy son. You said 'put up or shut up' first,
THEN you added, "Has anyone actually seen this game running ? Just a
brief glimpse, maybe ?", which I thought was slightly rhetorical seeming
as you had already called it 'mythical'. Now RUMOUR has it that you're
just a under informed guy with poor communicative skills, but i think
you're just rude. Oh and thanks for the spell check...the saddest thing
you could have done...and for putting me in the 8th grade.

Now you sound like DGF when he's having his period :-> Anyone expressing
strong opinions on usenet is asking for strong responses. You said...

...and that's a *very* provocative phrase no matter what you meant to say.
If you're using it regularly in everyday speech then you're asking for
trouble. It's one of the most antagonistic phrases in the Bolshy ***'s
Bumper Book to Bolshiness, putting a negative spin on your whole post.

It's a style thing, not a content problem.
