I hear ya.  I think it's an exercise in restraint myself -- just  
because you can EVENTUALLY end at a particular point doesn't mean you  
have to game AT that point in time.

But having said that I guess a common theme is we should ignore every  
possibly fun scifi development because some power-gamer of the future  
will abuse it.	It's almost like you shouldn't even bother discussing  
*anything* because 200 messages later someone will say "two blobs  
converge on each other and that isn't fun."
