Not to me. After a thread hits about 50 posts, it becomes difficult to read with the system I have in my bedroom, as the tables start taking a very long time to render.

Thanks. (Partially inspired by the discussion in General on weapons carry laws. Thanks to the charter of the Institute and the laws of 25th-century Earth, Utena can now carry the Thorn of the Rose around openly wherever she damn well pleases - which she may well start doing, if she's in a puckish enough mood when she dresses in the morning. :)

>G'Kron: a pacifist NARN!? <facefault>

Well, he's a pacifist in the same sort of way that Iris from Sakura Taisen and Prince Phil from Slayers are. G'Kron knows that there are people in this world who do not love their fellow man, and he hates people like that!!
