Don't care for it myself, I like to know who I just shot down or who got me, particularly after a good brawl. Had a nice little fight with Chanz last night, I came out on the upper end that particular time but I can tell next time it could go the other way.
When it was all done we exchanged a couple <S>'s and congradulated each other on a good fight. To me that is one of the strong points of the game, meeting and getting to know the people who put of a good and entertaining fight when you run into them. Many of my current friends and even some squaddies are people who used to club me like a baby seal whenever I ran into them. It's an important part of community building IMHO.
