JC: I just want to make sure you got the serious compliment imbedded in my
sarcasm. Looks like you did, but I have a history of pissing people off by
accident. This is tragic since I do it so often on purpose, it's a bummer
to do by mistake.

You got there first on that point. Been meaning to discuss that for a
while. It is clear from the sub-text of Raph's posts that there where
serious struggles inside Origin among the single player rpg people and the
mudders. The sad and interesting result is they managed to create
unrealistic expecations while failing to capture much of what the ultima
series had to offer. Ultimatly (pun intended), they failed to honor the
ultima series and managed to ignore much of the experience the online
people brought to the table. And despite it all the game is a financial and
(to a degree) artistic/technical success. Just shows the pent up demand for
this kind of product.

Got me on a bad day. My kids are my greatest joy. But I am a cold-blooded
sob (bad upbringing, and all) and try to stay close to my motivations. I
would make lots of changes in my life if I could do it over, but the kids
and the wife would remain, bigtime.
Personal comments...too OT for the list
