Well, I took it as a gentle suggestion that it's not improper to 
capitalize Action-Adventure when it's indeed the proper name of a genre. 
Luke, unlike most denizens of Usenet (Eep included), is fluent in 
written English.

And why, oh why, does he keep crossposting anything that so much as 
mentions Thief to a.g.t-d-p? The discussions almost never have anything 
to do with Thief as such, and they invariably turn into a standard 
Eep-inspired flamefest. This is where the anti-Eeps out-argue him on the 
facts and he calls them things like "newbie" and "troll" amidst 
resounding *plonk*s. That last happens so often I'm surprised he still 
sees anyone else's posts at all. Eventually it's bound to happen that 
Eep will find himself the only inhabitant of Usenet from his own point 
of view, having filtered everyone else out. At that point he'll probably 
start flaming himself and at some point will end up putting himself into 
his own killfile. At that point he'll either have to abandon Usenet 
entirely, or get a new email account. I vote for the former, myself.

These flamefests are fun once in a while, but nowhere near as much when 
you're among those he's got filtered. At that point they start to become 
tedious.
