Axel...er, I mean Xanthos,
May I first take this opportunity to say that you are one of my favorite people. I love your dedication, your thoughtfulness and courtesy, and your friendly demeanor. If I ever get to Austria (and I hope to some day) I fully intend to do my best to meet you.

Murphy, please put this coffee and these pastries on my tab.

I just thought I would explain the post I put up at the Probe Discussion area earlier. I realize how hard the MarsDawn staff works for our benefit and entertainment. I am VERY grateful for and their hard work and dedication. I would never criticize one of them "in real life" as I did "Dilyn" on the other board.

As I see it, the character, Dilyn, has been given a bit of a hard-nose, aggressive personality. Both as Grand Zero and in real life, I like to think of myself as a gentle giant that stands up for my friends and anyone else who needs and deserves it. I like to sit and watch the children on the playground, but if there is a bully on the playground, he'll have to go through me to get to the younger or meeker children. If someone assails my friends when they are doing their best under difficult circumstanes, I'll stand up in their face, beat on my chest and stare them down in as civilized a manner as possible. If I see a gap that needs defending, I'll stand in it. If not, well just call me that old possum.

Please know that it was the character, Dilyn, I was jousting with, and not Matt or Glenn or KLN or any other real person.

Hey, who stole my cinnamon rolls??? What was that that just ducked in through the wall over there by the bar-b-q sauce???
