    Some weird bug got ahold of my system over the last couple of weeks and rendered Internet Explorer 6 corrupt - thank God, the latest AntiVirus 9 download seems to have cleared it up - so I haven't had an opportunity to check back in here as I wanted to. The Gaming Report article seems to be rather vague - as is appropriate, considering the company they're investigating - and I still stand by my original comment and prediction. I remember, oh, roughly about a year ago, we were having a debate on this subject after an advertisement for Worlds was put up on the Decipher site. Someone - and I can't remember exactly whom - stated that they'd talked to their FGS rep and were told, "The books are not released, and I doubt they ever will be." That pretty much sums up my approach on the subject; again, if they are released, I'll be happy to choke down a big helping of crow while I stand in line for the suckers, but until that day, like Chancellor Velorum, Decipher gets a big vote of No Confidence from this corner.

    BTW, my best friend - whose machine I'm posting this on - has submitted the opinion that valuable board space is being wasted with the ongoing Enterprise evaluations; he feels we'd all be much better off if we just went home and read our Bibles - i.e., TOS.

    I don't make this stuff up, folks - I just report it.

    Really? Ask him how he felt about the "Spock's Brain" episode of Season 3.
    Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...

    Hmm

    1) I am home
    2) I don't own a Bible
    3) Why would I want to read one, I'm not a practicing / lapsed / Forgetful Christian, nor do I have any inclination to be

    Now let me get back to my demon occultists summonings books

    It sounds like that might be a comment I made, although I can't find the thread in question. I say this because I remember being told exactly that be a representative from the online game discounter CCGArmory.com, then called USAComicBooks.com, via email (which I also no longer have).
