And the opposite holds true as well: those who are for pre-measurement
are usually either new players (who haven't yet calibrated their Mk Is
properly) or who have rather poor eyesight to begin with. Like me, who
have only recently stopped wearing eye patches after extensive eye
surgery, but still see two pictures of everything (neither eye has
healed completely yet) - with each eye, and when I'm sober. If I use
both eyes at once, I see three pictures of everything. When I'm drunk,
I see at least four of everything.

Schoon and Mikko, if either of you ever fight me IRL and allow no
pre-measurement, I would kindly ask you to wear a blindfold during the
entire battle. Or you can borrow my pre-surgery glasses - apart from
the headache most people get from wearing my old glasses for a while
the effect is pretty much the same <g>

(BTW, Mikko - the above is *not* a joke. If I get time to go to RopeCon
this summer - not that it seems likely, given my current schedule :-( -
I'll bring my old glasses for you.)
