[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 306967, member: 2525"] Well, how nice of you to think of me so fondly. Nice, diplomatic way to start off this dialogue by the way. 16 hours is NOT a reasonable drive, and you thinking it is reasonable just shows how out of touch with reality you really are. I used to drive 13 hours from Los Angeles to Salem, Oregon, and let me tell you that was NOT a reasonable drive. It's scrary, and dangerous, to drive that long. Trucking laws in fact prohibit a drive as long as 16 hours. That is not a days drive, it is two days drive. 8 hours is about how long most people would be willing to drive in a day. As for hygene, that was an obvious joke. All I meant by it is that gamers, myself included, can do extraordinary things in pursuit of our hobby. We, as gamers (again myself included) might actually try to make a 16 hour drive in the interests of going to our Con. That doesn't mean it is normal to do so, or reasonable. It just means gamers are dedicated folks. Stop taking yourself, and me, so seriously. Gee, thanks for saving me all the trouble of responding to statements you made directly to me. Good to know this is not a two-way discussion, but your own platform to preach from. I have no idea what you are referring to. Would you care to explain? [/QUOTE]
