McG, that's kinda funny, a five post difference between yourself and aj. 
Your posts related to the game and intelligent stuff as I recall. Aj was 
blasting everyone, but mostly tomo. That was right about when I came in, 
those clowns were going at it. I remember thinking this newsgroups is really 
cool, and it has it's own comic relief section. They were just a normal part 
of the landscape here in those days for me. These days I would have 
killfiled both pretty quickly. I've grown a bit grouchier.
