Ok, I'm not going to argue this with you. We obviously play for different
reasons and have fun in different ways. However, the tips that I listed for
reducing client side lags were not for you Harmonic, they were for the list
in general as advice on what to do on their first dragon raid. There are
other people on this list that could benefit from advice other than "Don't
go until you're 49, I wouldn't let you anyhow if I had my way."

I've never said or felt that you were an idiot, but I have noticed in recent
weeks that your attitude toward other players whos level hasn't caused them
a nosebleed (under 49 apparently) has deteriorated.
