I've just been looking for a two part Battlecruiser "review" on YouTube with
no luck. One of my best bits from the second part is where he is repeatedly
pressing the Esc key and finally gives up and says:

"How do you turn it off!?"

and on the UI:

"It's horrible!"

Very funny if not so serious review. If someone finds them please post links
as it would make my day to watch them again.

Although I did find this and hadn't remembered if he got a reply from DS.

P.S.: regarding Flame Wars Follies  ... infact i contacted the author and 
the main character who we can all thank,who debunked Derek Smart. His great 
editorial skills of making an anthology of those times.He still remembers me 
from those days and its a great person ;) He allways replied when i had a 
question regarding these flame-wars follies.Anyway,a great guy to talk to. 
In my opinion, he has one of the keenest senses for spoting up BS ,i've ever 
seen. He should be a lawyer or something (Bill Huffman).
