Well, I see your point, but even then I don't think there's anything truly horrid about it. Nobody can FORCE you to accept a death match. I agree that it's quite rude of those players who are doing it, but I don't have much sympathy for those who were foolish enough to accept those challenges. I know I'd NEVER accept a death match unless I had a good resurrection fund (I still won't Grotto). -- -Doug Gibson dag@wiffin.chem.ucla.edu "Hell has our phone number." - DEC "I'll bet it does!" - Me GS d-(+) H s+:+ !g p? au a- w+ v C++ UH++(++++) P--- L- 3- E N++ K W--- M+ V-- po- Y+ t+ 5- j R++ G+('') tv b+++ !D B--- e++>++++ u+ h---(*) f r+++ n- y+++ Up
