- Does everything on this news group have to be turned into "you twink" stuff.
- Grow up. Some of us don't live on campus and can't run over to the CS
- building to log onto a stupid computer. I don't go to school anymore and
- I really don't feel like driving 45 minutes to get to work just to play

- whether we were number 1 or number 16. I play because it is a fun game but
- this crap really takes away from it.
