[QUOTE="Caliburn101, post: 7269178, member: 6802178"] Then I can only suggest going out and experiencing things for yourself instead of spending so many hours of your life Googling things and taking it all as truth. You'll find as you get older that you tend to remember most clearly the things that gave you pleasure or pain at the time, and they don't fade. A lot else does... such as the last 100 Google searches I did - can't really remember much about them - but the conversation I had with Gygax was one, the entire day with my girlfriend on my 21st birthday - that's another... and the conversation I had with Terry Pratchett about the GURPS Discworld conversion, whilst he was wearing his favourite hat and cap - that's another. I could go one, because I am now over 50... us older people tend to have gone out and done a fair amount of stuff with our time. Personally I don't really care if you cannot accept something Google doesn't confirm for you, or are happy to list the first choice of your interpretations of what I claimed as the one where I am a liar. In fact you keep on repeating that 'possibility' - that I am a liar, and you keep hedging your language so as not to come straight out and say it - as that would break the forum rules. You seem to know right where the red line is and how to 'relieve yourself' over it in your targets firm direction without consequence. Do you want me to applaud your efforts? Why don't you instead do something more constructive to do with your time, or, should the spirit of adventure take you, make a decision about that without algorithmic guidance? ... and don't call me buddy, you haven't earned the right to be familiar with me.
