Now I've been absent from the EB forums for a few months now. In truth, a bit turned off by what I saw as self-serving folks bashing other folks. You may wish to replace folks with other choice words. However, the biggest reason - to be honest - was b/c my computer crashed big time and to date I am still without it. When you don't play the game, sometimes the forum loses it's pull. I happened across this thread by chance and was reminded of why I love this game and have for years now.
This conversation - for the most part - has been informative and interesting. Thanks for pulling a lost EBer back into it.
