You forgot financial! We all need to borrow the odd tenner from time to time.

I agree, online friendships are a special kind of friendship.

Why not sending FMF and Kewpie a PM and demand that they
take your calls? Private matters ventilated in public are bad
taste, even for your kind.

Do you feel we three (myself, divegeester and FMF) are a cosy little group? Is that what all your misanthropy is all about, you're not one of the in crowd?

Kewpie,
I dont' consider any of 3 of you being the so called in crowd. You maybe more than the aforementioned though. 😉

Dive,
I must disagree with you on that one. I consider Our Clan Leader to be a true friend, and we've never spoken on the phone. I consider GP to be a good true friend although we've never talked on the phone.

Having said that mind you, these are internet friends, who i've known over many years. Not friends like you would know in person. I would still consider both to be True Friends. There are others of course, I am just using these two as examples who I feel wouldn't mind my saying so.

Regards,

Likewise Dive and robbie although robbie will kick my ass.
CS,
robbie could probably kick a few 2000 players asses. I don't know what he is doing but he certainly has some improvement over the years since we use to be fairly equal in our play.

I think it may have to do with the brews he consumes, not any computer programs he might be using ( I meant studying) 😉
