Heh...Could I be the one to point out the irony of that statement in
this forum?  Consider if this had been the opinion of the Infocom crew:

] JUMP
Do you expect me to applaud? :)

] LOOK AT ME
That's difficult unless your eyes are prehensile. (That was a joke)

] COUNT LEAVES
There are 69,105 leaves here. Ha ha.

] EAT NEST
I don't think that the bird's nest would agree with you (j/k).

I don't know about you, but I probably wouldn't have bothered trying to
open the window of the white house, if the game had treated me this way...

And, hey, if he hadn't been kidding, it still would've been funny.  Just
not intentionally.
