>>"Big point" in relation to the facts Mad Central is operating with.<<

Ooh yes!  that IS a big point.  Monumental!  And very exciting too!

>> In a
recent post Mad Central wrote about the links posted here, claiming that
"over half of them" were dead.<<

In fact, my message was relating personal experience, not 'claiming' anything,
and it was doing so in reply to another message.  It was entirely on topic, and
regardless of your wish to censor or amend my experiences they remain my own
and subject to my interpretation.

Nor, do I feel, am I alone in this opinion, but its just not something
interesting enough to get into a big hoohah about, now is it?

>> When asked about the foundation for this
assertion he chose to talk about people having "sore points" and being
somebodies "mum".<<

Nobody asked me about any foundation of anything.  Some people, the usual
suspects, responded in their usual fashion, and I then responded in my usual
fashion.  Its another day in Rec.Games I guess.  I have responded to every and
any mail you've sent and anybody else has sent.  Just because you dont agree
with or like my opinion doesn't make it any more, or less, valid.  Perhaps you
would like a world where everybody was a clone of you, but this isn't it, Im
pleased to say.

>>He goes on in this fashion, <<

Given that one message answers another the only person 'going on' here is you.
You can stop anytime you like.  However, given the free and open nature of this
newsgroup you are entitled to "go on" as long as you like, and I'll keep
responding for as long as you want.  its mindnumbing for everybody else, but
this is a free area and we both have to write to be as boring and dull as we
choose.  Forever, if you like.

>>and that certainly makes the "debate" a bit
boring and pointless.<<

On this we agree.  As I have been saying, I believe.

>>My initial response to him was that in my experience links posted here were
good, and that made me doubt his claim.<<

And I responded to you that you are entirely entitled to your opinion and that
I respect that fact.

>>I find it very useful to read about games on this newsgroup, <<

Well, Im very glad that you find it useful.  I have not found it very useful,
and at the risk of repeating myself ad infinitum, I believe I am still entitled
to my own opinion?

>>and use it as
my door to new games.<<

Well then I fail to see what your problem is?

>> Not all games are good, and certainly not all GM's,
but most of the links are.<<

I am glad that your experience of links you have tried is good.  I am pleased
for you.  My own experience is not as good.  That's a shame.

If I wish to comment my experiences about this particular aspect of the list, I
will do so.  If you wish to contribute your own experiences you can also do so.
 You dont, however, have any foundation to question my opinions any more than I
can question yours.  As I've said, several times now, I dont WANT to question
yours.  They dont affect me one way or the other.

You don't actually seem to be making any new points... but you are talking a
lot, which you seem to enjoy.  I enjoy talking too, and I'm happy to continue
like this as long as you wish, so please continue if you want.  I dont mind at
all!
