**Small Flame On**
This should be a perfect example of how not to write an article.
I have no idea what game is being discussed here. The original subject was
Re: Orphaned Response
which of course has nothing to do with the contents of the article.
**flame off**

I would be interested in knowing what the game is, since I can't
recognize the game from the description and don't think I've seen one
that matches it. Perhaps the author of the original article will send
another article telling what this game is.
