     As I stated, the game has always worked perfectly for me. Even
before the patch. It's not that I DIDN'T WANT the game to be patched
again, I simply felt it was unnecessary. Now  Maureen Grady was kind
enough to point out the folly in that idea and I do now realize that
just because the game works well for me does not mean it works well for
everyone else (in fact, it seems not to). So in a message I posted a few
days ago I said I would welcome any additional patches Blizzard might
care to offer up. As a matter of fact, you should be getting another
patch pretty soon.

PS - Also, I play Diablo with my father in law quite a bit via the
modem. He does not have Internet access. So with every successive patch
I will have to download it and bring it over to his house and install
it. No big deal really but you could see how a whole slew of patches
might become a pain in the butt. But I say again - if it will rid
battle.net of the cheaters then I don't care! =)
