OK, *that* was so funny I repeated it to a coworker. Which meant I had to explain where it came from. MoD gets a puff point.

And so one of my insults becomes a impromptu injoke. Nifty.

One of these days im gonna have to hunt down SE and brand that into his forehead. I think i have enough air miles to go to america...

And that would be nice. I read the reviews while keeping in mind what i know about the reviewer, so i like to know who the reviewer is. If its SEs reviews, i know a bit about what he likes in RPGs, so i can use that information to create a "filter" to read his comments through. IIf you get my drift.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Okay, time for another billiant EUOL suggestion.

We could just have posts on the main page--the ones that Fell writes--have a standarized way of including the author's name.  For instance,

"The Star Trek CCG was so awkward it spawned a rulebook bigger than your head. Second Edition fixes the old game's problems like a breath of fresh air" is a blurb on the page right now.  Why not just include the author's name at the end.

"The Star Trek CCG was so awkward it spawned a rulebook bigger than your head. Second Edition fixes the old game's problems like a breath of fresh air.  Article by Daniel Wells."

I think I suggested that earlier when I admitted I was being a snarky arse.... It's the easiest way, but it'd also be fun to have it as soemthing with a meta tag...
