And thus, its raison d'ˆtre.  I'm amazed that folks have the time to play those 
kinds of games.

I suffer from the same affliction.  :-)

I don't mind coarse language, and I don't mind juvenile behaviour.  However, 
there is a time and a place for everything, and some folks seem to feel that 
certain echos are FLAME-spinoffs, where they can exercise their divine right of 
sysops to attack others and dap fists with their buddies about how cool they 
are.  Moderators of those echos need to chop off some heads.  The perpetrators 
aren't going to listen to reason anyways, and the sooner they go and do their 
own thing, the sooner the rest of us will be left to enjoy the hobby without 
them.
