umm,  no one has answered my question...
i guess i should follow auction policy and if no one replies in 3 days i win...

How do we know that the good Quakers out there do not use well-written hard-to-
detect bots?

What is the difference between my using a hard-to-detect bot and a good person
playing? (to the viewpoint of the other players)

Who or what says that it is not right to use computer aids for playing Quake?
(if I am not interested in gaining any Quake skill)

What skills are gained by playing Quake?

That could not be gained doing more productive things?

Oh, also I like going to servers and exiting as quickly as possible 
if they have exit enabled.  It is fun for me to race to the end of the 
stage while getting shot at by other players.

Oh, and there was a bug in an old FvF that would enable players to change
levels upon a certain sequence of impulses... that was fun...

and servers with pause allowed are fun
