Yeah, not that Blizzard will be losing any sleep over it. :-/

Bugger! Hardcore non-ladder no good?

Heh! I'm a bit of a one-game man these last few years, those acronyms leave 
me scratching my balding head. <g>

You sure do! I used to play with a guitar a bit but, after not having one 
for ages, than picking one up with thoughts of getting another I quickly 
realised that my fingers had forgotten how to make the chords and, boy did 
my fingertips get sore quickly!

What do you play (if you've already told me I plead senility)? I've never 
been a serious muso, more a dabbler. I used to do soundmixing and stage 
lighting for a touring band for a few years in my feckless youth. In that 
environment it's hard to *not* pick up an instrument. When there's three 
classic Telecasters there it's even harder! ;-) I always said I'd buy my own 
Tele and Fender Twin Reverb (or Super-Twin) one day.....

Hope you're well.
