In light of the tone of several current threads, methinks it would behoove me to make sure my purchase of the endeavor in question will be from an establishment extremely conducive to the notion of customer satisfaction. :-) Jerry Morelock

Maybe Greg realizes that you don't necessarily have to taste a pile of it, or even stir in it, to recognize it for what it is. hehe No, I don't have it, either, but I intend to get it--just stirring up a little myself. :-) Jerry Morelock "Mike Blackmore" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

"We can't bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways... One trick is to tell 'em stories that don't go anywhere: Like the time I caught the ferry over to Shellblyville: I needed a new heel for my shoe...so...I decided to go to Morgansville, which is what they called Shellbyville in those days. So, I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style of the times. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in *those* days, nickels had pictures of bumble-bees on 'em. 'Gimme 5 bees for a quarter' you'd say. Now, where were we, Ahh yes. The imortant thing was, that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style of the times..."

Can you get it from somewhere that accepts returns ? As for getting you to shut up. The beauty of RAS is everyone is entitled to an opinion. It's just that the opinion of people who have played the game maybe worth more than the opinion of someone who has posted 130 odd times commenting on the quality of something he has not tried. If you ever get over to the UK well continue this over a pint (I'm buying) Regards Mike

Possibly Greg because you have not played it ! You have commented on the quality of graphics you have not seen, the standard of coding you have not used and sound you have not heard.

I am actually supposed to be going within the next year to visit the wives relatives. I was supposed to go this summer, but my torn achilles prevented that... I'll save this message and email when/if it finally happens :-) Hey, by that time I might like GP3! Psyche :-) -- [email hidden]
