Oh, hey, by the way, while your tying you might want to ponder a question
for me.....I mean, what with your obvious deep seated need to make the
world a better place and all.

Would you characterize testing yourself against pre-teens as just a
hobby?......or is it a long sought potential means of fulfilling some
lofty aspiration?.....or what? If the former, I'd like to suggest that
most dogs, having once bitten the burlap, will find another hobby. If the
latter.....well, good luck.



Well I honestly never thought of it as testing myself. I had some things
I kinda wanted to say, probably my over active desire to impose my values on
others as you, more or less accurately, point out. And I had a couple
things that I've been curious about, but I see that my questions are not
going to be answered.... not really a big deal.

I think your implication in the "testing" and "find another hobby" is that I
was tested and I've been defeated in that test. My impression was that we
were playing different games for different reasons. At your game I was
defeated, and I'm not likely to soon have enough interest to play again ...
at mine, the game simply faded away unplayed.

You seem like an interesting case, one I'd like to understand rather than
just guess about, but not interesting enough to pursue the knowledge uphill
against your will. So, yes, I have been defeated in that interest. The
words that did it were "......well, you're a liar." That basic phrase
seems to precede many of your changes from 'clever' to 'pre-teen' and I have
zero interest in more exposure to the latter.

Congratulations on your win.
