I appreciate your posting this here, and I'm glad the whole sordid thing was finally cleared up. It's regrettable that you lost respect for me over what I posted in that thread. Yes, I dodged the question, but given my theory of who had posted it and what possible motivations were behind it, I treated it as a loaded question. It's not that I was afraid of answering the question, or that I have anything to hide.... Anyway, my answer to the initial question: I think my answer turns out to be pretty damn similar to Jafarlin's clever little league analogy way down on the Forum. Basically, I still keep in touch with a bunch of people I met playing CF. We still talk about CF. I know plenty of people who still play CF. Despite my claim to retired status, it hasn't been all that long since I've played... I've had a few teen-rank chars come and go in the last month. I've put thousands (ugh) of hours into the game, so I certainly have more than a passing interest in how it continues to develop now that I no longer really have the time or the drive to play seriously, which once again brings me to the Forum. And finally, I try to post helpful things and answers to questions whenever I can, for the benefit of eager newbies less jaded than I. Thank you for tuning in for this episode of The Arcane, P.I., filmed on-site in Hawaii and Dublin, and we now return you to your regularly-scheduled programming.
