Again, I say >"bullshit". I understand "hypocrite" perfectly well. It applies here >*perfectly*... No, I tried very hard to get an agreement. I tried very hard to stop the arms race. i proposed to you and Bruce that you contact Wullenweber and negotiate down to the K233's. you didn't. You did zilch. reason: you WANT the hardware advantage. You WANT desperately to win. This blinds you to all else. And further, I'm not trying for an advantage (a massive advantage in your case) over everybody else; I've just positioned myself below you, Bruce and Dark Thought and whoever else is on alphas, level apparently with the others on P2 300's and above the supplied machines. Seems reasonable under the circumstances. Anyway, I'm not expecting or banking on, or am desperate to win at all costs. And Bob, when Mr Moderator in chief starts resorting to high levels of personal insult, we all know he's lost his case. > >>> >>>I want an *exact* multiplier that you find acceptable.

Thorsten, as you know, is a loose cannon. He does whatever he does. Yesterday was the first day he mentioned it to me. This morning I gave him the go ahead. > I assume we >can >now close this topic since you are "joining"? Or do we continue with >these >groundslug ethics and keep making accusations? I make accusations when they are IMO justified. You appear to be getting personal. May I suggest you refer yourself to yourself and moderate yourself ..... Chris
