1) They have a lower noise/signal track record,
2) It was nigh impossible to divine that your msg was in any way a
   response to either of the other two, and 
3) It was just adding more fuel to a fire (or sound to the noise)
   most list members would like to see ended.

In the time you have been here, you may have noted that Jon does not
willy-nilly just jump in on any conversation. That he said something
at all should give you pause for thought about either what you post,
or how you are posting things (note item #2 above; often it is more
than difficult to understand you are replying to someone about
something).

No, my gaming scenarios don't usually revolve around individuals
or role-playing, unless I'm playing a specific RP game.

As for your "MY BUDDY" scenario, that was a valid contribution.
It wasn't necessarily my cup of tea, but it wasn't in the noise
factor, either. You've had some other thought-provoking posts and
ideas in the past, too. I can't remember all of them, though.
I only mentioned the hostage scenario as an example because that
was one I remembered off the top of my head (partly because that
was one of the few list messages I've kept recently ;-).
