If you want to understand why the above is a wonderful contribution from D.S., read the Terms of Service. I started this site and manage it with the goal of bringing more fans to the game. The sharing of information and the discussion it generates in a thread like this helps players win and enjoy the game more which is one of the main tenets of DT. (As opposed to threads started with the intent to ridicule specific members.. for example.)

It should also be noted that the bad trip Sierra Sunset (San Rafael) came back to run a couple big ones at OP.

Relax man, I wasn't being sarcastic or hostile. I just wanted to have him followup with what point he was trying to make. He seemed to be going somewhere specifically with his posts when they abruptly stopped, leaving me wondering what he was trying to say.

As for your latter point, yeah, that's true, I did start a thread to ridicule someone. That's not something I normally get in the habit of doing and as you know quite well, I've also defended that person. It being April Fools day and all, I thought I'd make a wee joke. Unlike other posters on here, who never ridicule others!
