<Rip hears a faint Trumpet sound around the corner, finds a blue jeans man wearing a Tom Landry hat with a large basket full of coins in front of him, blowing softly on his trumpet the theme song to 'Superfly'...Rip tosses him a quarter>
FYI: I made a formal apology (well, not an apology, rather a statement being guilty as charged... regarding my tasteless unabashed promotion of Aces High in OFF-TOPIC forum..seeking disgruntled WB users to come over to AH to 'check it out', while offering my services of helping them in the training arena) on AGW in regards to my January posts(Interesting enough, alot of the negative feedback of my information posts back then are playing now! Daff, Cabby, Laz, Stigler even said hes going to check it out!): read something like this:

Bingo Ding...and most are willing to eat a few bugs for a couple of weeks while they address them in exchange for a spectacular flight sim! Night bombing is simply awesome! Especially the explosions! Woo hooo!
Ding, please understand MG's bitterness:
WB's hasn't had an upgrade for along time.
AH comes out, and folks go to AH, not only pay a flat rate, but AH does not offer Mac version, so there's a slap in the face.
Attacks begin on those who even mention the word AH.
Attacks begin on each other in AGW, out of frustration of watching AH develope into something short of spectacular, while WB flyers dump loads of hourly rate money into IEN with nothing in return.
Sure, that's going to get anyones blood pressure up.
When I first posted a thread about "What do you guys think about armour in WB's" back in January, I was bombarded with insults. I became defensive and started posting threads about AH in off-topic , more or less retalitory strikes.
I'm as guilty as anyone.
Those who stood by and said nothing are guilty.
However, one cannot even express his opinion on AGW anymore, pre-AH one could, post-AH everyone gets flamed if they mention AH.
That tells me AH is a real threat to some folks. It shouldn't be.
I for one would like to make peace, and wish everyone else would just chill out. AGW is becoming a mockery on other BBS, and newsgroups, we all contribute to that negativity that is portrayed.
It's time it stopped
