Hi guys, Ray here again.

Thanks for the responses, good or bad, to my posting the other day.

I personally regard the multiplayer feature of the kali supported games to be only one, albeit 
important, of a list of features which augment a modern game.  A newsgroup dedicated to a 
particular game or genre already serve as a place where players can find help to solve their 
problems, including kali-related ones.  This I think is be a better method at finding specific 
discussions according to game title rather than having a newsgroup where all kali-related 
problems are discussed.  Several sites already provide good FAQ's on Kali, as well as multiplayer 
strategies for the games.

Don't get me wrong; Kali kicks major butt, but I just think a dedicated kali newsgroup would end 
up a place for people to show off their prowess at multiplayer bloodfests (nothing wrong with 
that, come to think of it :)  ).  A newbie would get faster and better results by looking up 
"kali", "FAQ", and "games" on any search engine, or the Kali homepage.  Instead of a kali 
newsgroup, why not have a site where the best killscores are recorded, unless there's already 
one.  Or where national/international championships are hosted every year like the Battletech VR? 

And yes, kali chat rooms are not very helpful on anything else other than looking for someone to 
reduce to a pool of bloody pulp.

The above is my opinion and no one else's.  Now let me put on my asbestos underwear >:)  Best 
regards to all.
