Oh, it was no problem Lithien. You see, i still have the freedom (albeit
probably not for long on this slippery slope) to voice my opinion
however i see fit. My, how i long for the days, when i was but a lad,
when a group of like minded thinkers could gather and discuss various
facets of their shared philosophy without the need for power hungry self
appointed "masters" setting useless rules simply so that they could
assert their authority in some ridiculous way or another. ah well. i can
still dream.
