Well, actually you were insulting him. I do believe you did not -mean-
to insult him though.  Please be carefull  with how you phrase things,
especially when you are very passionate about the subject.  It is very
easy to accidentally get condescending or insulting without meaning to
and that, when not prevented, could easily ruin the mood of this list.

Personally I see the point that both of you are trying to make,  and I
believe that both of you are right for your own reasons. It all has to
do with the goal you are trying to achieve with your game. Matt's game
is about skill in using a complicated and confusing set of comands and
Caliban's is much more strategic.  One strives for an adrenaline rush,
and the other is more laid back.

Marian, the peacekeeper.
