If Quake is so contemptible to you, why do you play the game and post
here? I think soap operas are stupid, therefore I never watch them and
never go into s.o. NGs and tell people there they are stupid.
Folks here have a legitimate complaint about cheating. I don't think
complaining here will change the fact that people cheat but one of the
purposes of this and other newsgroups is for people to express their
opinion. Take your own advice and if you don't like what people are
saying here, try another newsgroup, i.e. alt.optimists. Also, you might
note that people will always complain about things so why do you waste
your time complaining about complaining?
