>>An awful lot of people have made assumptions about my technical and
gaming prowess,<<

None of us ever did any such thing.  We simply berated you for making silly
claims.  We never said you *couldnt* do it.  We just said you were silly to be
so blase about it.

>> and its interesting that we seem to have two sides,
the free thinkers and the establishment.<<

The wannabees and the already-done-its?

>>Just to set the record straight, lets say it one more time.<<

Yawn.

>>Firstly, the initial comment about blowing other games out of the
water was said, tongue in cheek.<<

Well if you'd said that sixty messages ago we'd all have had a laugh and
forgotten it.

>> This is not to say that I do intend
to write a game engine with considerably more scope and depth than
anything I've seen so far.<<

Good for you.  Nothing wrong with ambition.

>>Secondly, whether it actually becomes a commercial success is not the
primary concern. I'm looking to create as good a game as I possibly
can.<<

Good for you again.

>>Thirdly, without actual knowledge of my skills and abilities, I would
respectfully ask that you do not make such negative assumptions.<<

We never did.  I would respectfully ask that without ever having actually seen
or played our games you not *assume* you can do better.

>>Open your minds, think of what could be, then go for it.<<

Open your eyes and see what already *is* and then go for it.

>>Shoot for the stars. You may land on the moon, but hey, I'm on the
moon!<<

Or you may land in a peat bog.  but hey!  You're in a peat bog!
