Hey, why is pretending to be an elf lousy? World of Warcraft is fun as hell if you have friends to play with.
It sure beats being a verbose Internet windbag who doesn't code.
Recall, if you please, that the rhetorical phrase "However X Y may be,..." translates to "I, myself, don't necessarily believe that X is Y, but perhaps you do. So I'm going to pretend to accept your argument that X is Y in order to lure you underneath a ten-ton weight, which I will drop on you immediately after this comma."
i stopped having a TV in my household around 2000/1. It's great to pursue other activities.
