Re: balance

I do agree with you Peter that one may become very dispondant as a member of
this group, I also feel that in cyber space that is this modern e mail thingie
some people do phrase/state/respond in ways that ( hopefully ) they would not
dream of face to face ( even Stuart ).

But I am very disappointed that I will not be meeting you at Britcon and
allowing you to buy me a pint ( for no reason what so ever ), I have even been
considering a regular Sp(O) army, in some degree inspired by your commitment to
HI armies ( probably Thebian or Spartan ), the other reason I was considering
them would be that any opponant would be laughing so hard I might win the games
by default.

I am sorry you feel the way you do.

William

PS Mr Barker does not respond much to me either, I usually frame the responses
and mark the calander.

PPS I do feel people/posters should remember that all this is supposed to be
fun.
