I take most of what you have written as the same type of "writing" that Randy wanted to point out. Maybe a little less "old" former feelings should be counted out by you? :chin:

Don't say you're sorry if you don't mean it.
First off, us lamoes that cannot program the microwave to cook what we want or make the VCR time screen stop blinking are not going to be much help are we? :(
Secondly, I don't have to know how it is designed to use a wheelchair. Nor, do I need to bow down to everyone who patented parts for the wheelchair, or even those who worked on it without receiving compensation for their labor.
What I do not need is a lecture from anyone. :angry:
If you all spent your hard won 'free time' working on the game I can say, "good for you", "attaboy", "well done". I've mentioned over and over about the things I liked in the upgrade.
I've even mentioned what I did not like and the reasons why. Don't put a racing package on a Volkswagon Beetle and tell me you want me to watch it perform at the Indy 500. It is surely not what the Beetle was created to do? :conf:
Rod had some great points. Don't fault him for his delivery of the message (that's my job, that I volunteer hours of my time to do). He says his naval experience warrants his opinion, that the naval aspect is "wrong", he has the right to say so. And, if his "fix" is to return the naval units to their original abstracted form, he has that right. As much as you have the right to come here and say the rest of us have not "pulled our weight" because we do not like the add-ons to the game scale?
And, lastly, if any of the volunteers think about not doing what they love to do, they may want to consider why they love it, and do it, in the first place?
I'm plenty happy that the game is supported by Matrix.
I'm not so happy that the scale has been "thrown out" to make additions form a wish list. You can add a racing package to Beetle and it won't be an Indy racer. You can put chrome on a '57 Chevy and it will not be a Belair (plus, it would really depreciate a very nice car)? :whis:
I've given kudos to all the team on multiple forums. I will not give an ounce of blood over that. Don't ask me too do that? :smoke:
