If it's the Startrek objects, it's the moron who's selling them that's in
copyright infringement. Not the person who bought them. So as long as
Bruce isn't making you pay to use those objects, then he's perfectly legal
in his use until Paramount sends a Cease and Desist order his way.

Bowen, your defense is just as bad as his.
Addressing everyone:
Get it through your thick skulls, everyone. This ain't USENET. I'll do any
dang thing I want as long as I don't annoy other people and/or it's against
the newsgroup charter. That's the law in this here town, stranger.

Already have one. Why should I do work with my fingers so I can read
something posted by you? That's rather backwards, I think. If you want
people to read, then don't expect them to have to do anything to get to
them. I usually just skip over a post that doesn't have anything at the
top. This is a newsgroup, not a text-book. I'm not inclined, nor do I have
the time, to read everything.

But in my brief defense of top-posters, the charter does not say that one
MUST follow usenet netiquette. You don't see anyone getting banned over
this, do you? Top-posting is too silly an offense to be unenforcable. Your
point is thus irrelevant.
Bowen you're absolutely right. Post at the bottom if you like. But Just In
and I are going to just skip over your posts. Simple as that. Don't like
it, post at the top. We're not changing for you. And you certainly don't
have to change for us. It would be your benefit to change to top posting.
Not ours.

Yes. I think it would be great if you put that on your station. Please

"can be just as creative in alpha as any other world blagh blagh denial BS"
Creativity is ideas, not what you're given to work with. :) If people want
to do something other than AW, more power to em, but I find that I can be
just as creative in AW as well as in any other world. The only difference
is just what you're given to work with and the type of creativity involved.
You can make your own creativity by building your own world, and that would
be the next step above AW in my humble opinion. And I think that's what
you're ultimately trying to say. Bravo.
