How is this set of comments helpful?

Irrespective of whether or not you have a point, this is a pretty
pointless
line to take in the conversation.  Much better suited to *off list*. 
How
does *this* set of comments pertain to GZG games... this thread in
general,
but *this* set of comments in particular?  Though the other comments in
this thread were OT, at least the they weren't rude...	Or a direct
challenge...

Troll somewhere else.  We don't need it here.
