The same could be said to you.

I'm not married.

} Moriland: I can understand you problem, but when you followed up on
}that message by the person who wrote Amiga Lemmings and put down your
}views right after each of his paragraphs, well, LIKE I CARE. That
}message could easily have been made private, as you stated EVERYTHING
}you said in it before, and if I remember the message correctly, the
}programmer gets USENET feeds at work so I am sure he didn't need to 
}read it again.

Look, just because you don't care if it's HD installable or not
doesn't mean I don't. If you don't want to read all the rabble about
it then edit your KILL file and have your system automagicly delete
them! Unlike people like you who are willing to accept whatever drek
people put in front of them, some of us are unwilling to so the same
and we take action against it. Ranging from writing letters to
boycotting companies. If you do NOTHING NOTHING will change. Sure, its
only a game. Some of us take our entertainment seriously. I bet you go
and watch a lot of really bad movies as well: Afterall, it's ONLY a
movie. You can take the extra time during the boring parts to talk to
your wife, or say hello to your kids, or go home and make a sandwich.
