Heh.

I honestly couldn't care less about the rest of it -- everything other
than "repeal Bandwidth Rationing" pretty much boils down to tweaking a few
numbers.

But, and I must be blunt here, my time is rather finite. Unlike some of
the players, I still haven't found a clever workaround for that whole "24
hours per day, no more" bug in the universe.

(And no, redefining the hour doesn't help for this instance.)

I still don't see a sound argument (IMO, natch) that says M-Tek (and thus
p685) don't exist. Then again, I'm not actually a player, rendering my
opinion just shy of meaningless.

The only one of which I'm aware is the fact that the veto isn't official
yet because it was posted to -discuss, but then again nothing in that
email was official for that reason. And the Clock is still Off for the
same reason.

"Understanding is a three-edged sword."

(There is no relevance to the above, but as long as we're trading B5
quotes...)
