I question that. You've called me and Rick out=20 specifically by name. You
obviously must be=20 annoyed.    My responses weren't lame. You may = confuse=20 it

Dex

You bought a Dreamcast?

But more importantly, you posted=20 profanity.

I say you get banned for a = week.

Maybe you could write an unbiased = report on X-Box=20 & Gamecube during that week.

Or you could read my glowing review on = Balloon=20 Fight for the NES. ;-)
