REPRIMANDED????? 

Nope. You made a proposal, we gave honest criticism "without fear or
favour".
We treated you as an equal, that's all. And will continue to do so.
I sincerely hope that you'll do the same thing for me some time,
shooting
my beautiful but flawed ideas down in flames using an ugly little fact.

For a first attempt, it wasn't bad. 90% of the time new
proposals are for things that are uber-weapons of miniscule cost.
It was a refreshing change to see one the other way. And it had the
virtue of originality. The "odds=miss, evens=hit" mechanic has
possibilities,
it's simple, and is an idea that never occured to me. To be filed, but
not 
certainly not forgotten.

Pretty damn good for a first post, I'd say.

As we say in Oz, no wuckers, mate.
