Well...I know not to be the first guy to pass out at one of your parties,
now! No bonus sex for me, thank you very much! (o_-)
I have yet to come to any conclusions, as my research is ongoing. I know only
what I have seen of you, as always.

Sir, do you honestly believe that there is not a single BBS out there that
mantains message bases that go back effectively forever? Rumour and gossip and
hearsay have no place in proper research. Neither does asking for my
conclusions or sources before I have completed.
There is no external influence on my opinions. I am forming my own from the
information I find on my own. Others, such as Nick in this very echo, have
provided their own opinions for me to compare mine against, but I wouldn't
call that rumour and gossip. It is merely discussion.
WD> SB> Just because I'm new here doesn't mean I can't do my research...

WD> Indeed, you can do your research, so maybe now is a good time to start.
I had started on our very first interaction, and continue adding to it with
each new message. I have also taken the time to check out past historical
records.
Just because I'm griping at you does not mean I have completed my research,
nor come to a conclusion. I am simply...adding to my availiable information.
