    "... take up knitting." was better. One could imagine this big
German guy slamming his fist on the computer table and bellowing
something like ...

"Ach du Leiber! Diese Rubywand ist eine Schweinhund!!"


     Hate Wolfy, Sheppy, Nathan, Jeff, Heinrich, kws, Geoff, ... ???
What nonsense. (Sheppy's socks are pretty gross, though.)  This is,
after all, supposed to be our annual Spring Flamewar, right? You guys
got to fling around all sorts of insults and accusations. Now, you're
complaining because you had a little competition.


     Was the game's intro botched? Yes. Is a bug still a bug? Of course.
Did those who brought us Wolfy play fast and loose with users? Clearly.
Was anyone badly hurt? Luckily, it seems not.

    (Okay; so, don't agree on everything.)

     Is it time to consider JB's suggestion to end this thing and get
back to business? Why not?
