Greetings.
Well, I haven't said anything thus far about Giark's little tiff to
the List, but I think now's a better time than any:

hehe, that's for sure.

um-hmm, ye, ye. That's what I'm winging. If I had put out my demo a
couple of weeks ago, it would have been TOO SLOW, and I would have
MOST ASSUREDLY gotten mail from almost every beta-tester saying,
"This things too slow! Speed it up!" That's what I've been putting my
time into. I'll be almost finished, then I'll run into some kind of
trouble and have to go back and rewrite or start over. Writing a
caster for a game like this for a guy like Giark in a language like
AMOS is no easy feat, especially considering I've never done it!
hehe, but that's no matter.

This is what I'm thinking (and hoping).

Just word it right, so he wont cuss you out (hehe, just kidding).
