Said Quotes are now on display on an offshoot of the Force Ministry 
site. How does it look to people? I seem to recall that the PRE tag 
doesn't work the same way on every system; I don't know how it looks to 
all of you.

The Speed Limit does not prevent me from gaining more than 250 points 
per nweek; it stops me from having more than 250 more than I had at the 
beginning. My automation scrip specified that I gave all my points to 
the Cashbox *except* when those points came from the Cashbox. So what 
happened was this:
The CashBox got all my points. Its score went up until it hit 1000. It 
gave me 1000 points. I got a number of those equal to how many I'd 
given it originally, plus 250. Gaining any more would have pushed me 
past 250+(my starting score); so the remnant was stashed away as Style. 
I retained that (starting + 250).
	Now, when I made a bunch of purchases, nothing particularly impressive 
happened - I paid points for it, my score dipped, and then upon the 
next 1000-point dump, my score went back up to my starting score + 250 
again, adding the remainder to my ever-increasing pile of Style.
	Of course, none of these purchases matter in the post-apocalyptic 
world 'cept the speeders and the gifts to everyone else.

There's no such thing as too much Style :)

Done.
