It's the eighteenth month anniversery!!!
The weekly email has changed somewhat nowadays, but the basic gist remains 
constant. Stop the rot! Feel free to join me in the battle! ;)

Jay

**************************************************

Dear Sir/Madam,

 I write this email regarding your game, Diablo2: Lord of Destruction. First
let me congratulate Vivendi for the succes of this game, and to thank you
for your continued hosting of the battlenet online gameing system.

My email, unfortunantly, is to criticize you, hopefully to motivate you to
clean up the problems that are *still* plagueing Bnet. I find it absolutely
appalling that such a fine game is being flooded with spam bots. And this
season has seen the start of public games being made with
www.itemsellersaddresshere.com and, most appalling of all, the games stay up
for 12 hours at a time, with the *same* bots in evidence day after day after
day after day after day after day after day after day
you get the idea, i'm sure.

Please Sirs/Madams, fix this problem. It is *NOT* unsurmountable, nor is it
really all that hard. I know it, you know it, all that remains is the
willpower *to* do it.

Thanking you in advance,

Jay P.

You could add to the e-mail various bugs such as the NM FE bug, the snakes 
in Nilly's lair, the Evade bug, the Fend bug, etc... and of course the lag 
and games getting locked up on the server... <g>

First things first, let's see if they do the easy stuff, and then we'll hit 
them about the "harder" stuff  ;)

I will at that, good sir.

Seems they _may_ be getting sick of me at last, i've been suffering the 
worse lag yet the last 4 or 5 days, and have even started receiving new FTJG 
messages.

No, no, nothing with a personal message :P , at least, not yet.
Just a plain "Unable to join game" message.
Similar wait time to the FTJG message, but somehow, it's different... 
somehow.
