    You are correct, those rules were not written for fun, they were written to insure that people HAVE to use a lawyer. Much like how the AMA limits the number of doctors to keep pay high.

    When I lived in SBCHell(tm) I would receive between 7-10 telemarketing calls per day. And this was to a n unlisted/unpublished (2-3 per month is what that cost) yet I still received a lot of tm calls. And no, I didn't give that number out to anyone. Not even work.

    This was before the Texas DNC list.

    Sorry, the federal goverment is too busy spending the 2.23 TRILLION budget to help.

    Sure am glad the small goverment GOPers are running things...

    You should check your facts before you open your mouth.

    In texas about 35-38 cents of the price of every gallon of gas is in federal/state taxes. The vast majority of those taxes go to road building/repair.

    3rd Edition PHB P252.

    From the SRD.

    "Simulacrum creates an illusory duplicate of any creature. The duplicate creature is partially real and formed from ice or snow. The duplicate appears to be exactly the same as the original, but there are differences: The simulacrum has only 51% to 60% (50%+1d10%) of the hit points, knowledge (including level, skills, and speech), and personality of the real creature. Creatures familiar with the original might detect the ruse with a successful Spot check. The character must make a Disguise check when the character casts the spell to determine how good the likeness is.

    At all times the simulacrum remains under the character's absolute command. No special telepathic link exists, so command must be exercised in some other manner. The simulacrum has no ability to become more powerful. It cannot increase its level or abilities. If destroyed, it reverts to snow and melts instantly into nothingness. A complex process requiring at least 1 day, 100 gp per hit point, and a fully equipped magical laboratory can repair damage to the simulacrum."

    He didn't have to respond and nothing was added to the conversation by him saying what he did.
    Did I overreact? Yes, I did and for that I am sorry.

    But I am sick and tired of everytime anyone says anything religious on /. they are attacked by those who aren't. I do not see the religious people going around attacking everypost that says someone is an athiest , yet most every post that mentions religion has someone posting how the original poster is an idiot for believing in God.

    The fact that /. posters/mods felt it was necessary to attack those that said we should pray for those that were lost today is wrong. If they didn't agree with it they could have left it alone, they didn't have to post. This isn't a normal /. story, it is about a national tragedy not some bs story about nanotubes.
