> > First... huh?
> Let me spell it, for game information i would look at more info coming from the imms or him before i looked to any vip (other than dev) yet challen isn't a vip (tho i doubt he'd want to be) so it's not about game knowledge, a certain ability to tie one's own shoes and dress themselves is of course required.
> > Second... fortunately, we have you to turn to for infallible information, I guess. The rest of us put our best guesses up, and try to estimate our own uncertainty until Nepenthe taunts(*) us about it. I have never claimed that everything I write here is 100% true. But I can claim that it is 100% true to my knowledge, unless I'm being sarcastic. (See above.)
> Do i have a VIP flag? Do i attempt to claim that i am a font of CF knowledge (though i would claim to have a large dose just not well spread)
> so don't claim VIPs are wonders at CF
