           WoW! 8] - I must confess that I'm really quite touched by
           this.  - I just bang 'em out as best I can with an over-
           whelming loathing that I'm repeating meself. - (There are
           only so many descriptive adjectives that fit) - Trying to
           be as fair and open minded as possible and still share my
           quite subjective enthusiasm - I sometimes feel like I'm
           walking a tightrope between a hard and spikey truth and
           the yawning abyss of personal impressions - "Care-fulll.." ;]
           I'm having a difficult time trying to find a way to ex-
           press how much I appreciate hearing this Mika - except
           that this is a confirmation that I've safely arrived at
           the other side. - Thanks VERY much! <8D

           My sole purpose from the start has been to be a somewhat
           reliable guide and to honor the builders at the same time.
           Untill now there hasn't been such definitive confirmation
           that I've been fulfilling that purpose adaquately. - After
           all, no one asked me to do this and by it's very nature is
           somewhat presumptive of me to begin with. - But, I love the
           genre - and I very highly respect the work - the care that
           goes into creating these FMs - and I wish that I had a re-
           liable compass myself when I was sifting through hundreds
           of Doom and Quake levels, and maybe even someone to pat me
           on the back for the work I put into my own. - I was begin-
           ing to wonder if the work put into these 'pocket reviews'
           as Nightwalker calls them made much of a difference to any
           one.

           Thanks again Mika - for this confirmation and for the en-
           couragement to continue - I most certainly will 8] All My
           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Best Wishes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
