It's still under development. Care to do what Richard Garriot did
in his career before attacking the poor man? He did bring us the
Ultimas and that says a lot.

Sure does lol! (as I've already said elsewhere, Ultimas were definitely NOT
my cuppa). And history generally remembers where people end up, not how they
get there...;-p

But tx for the info.

Not much point to history, then, since we all end up in the same place -
oblivion.

Piss poor attempt at a troll, but to respond anyway, if you really didn't
see that I clearly meant 'how someone goes out' (i.e. their last project or
final contribution) then you've either got your head in the sandpit or you
just don't know people very well.
Btw, oblivion is now or never - your choice entirely ;-p

I don't think it was clear at all, but okay.

Now or later. Not never.

Makes you wonder why so many of you go on then, ey? Why not just end it now

Given my considerable health problems, if I could find a reliable,
painless, economical method, I would do so.

BTW, Thrasher strikes me as the religious zealot type.

I'm sorry to hear that. Not that I'm pro-euthanasia or anything, but you
can't *find* a "reliable, painless, economical method"??? No tall buildings
nearby? No freeways? :-/

Is it chronic excruciating pain or a no-2nd-chance prognosis?

>BTW, Thrasher strikes me as the religious zealot type.

Hmmm...you maybe right. God I hope he's not a Lutheran! >;-)

I'd think that tall buildings and freeways would *not* be painless. I'd
prefer CO if I was making the choice.

The only Lutheran zealot was Martin himself... I think the definition of
zealot is Baptist. <g>

Quick & sudden, with a nice preceding adrenaline rush for me. I fully expect
my last words to be 'oops!'.

It does in the absence of space-time. Or before/after the big bang. It's all
a matter of perspective & definition I guess ;-)
