Well when someone accuses me of "whinging" I must assume annoyance on their part- but, I am nearly always willing to admit error.
However, Kyle, my purpose is being well served, for the moment; we're now engaged in a discussion on two new topics; each of which is far more interesting than the original topic of this thread: the first being thread management (btw, the request for merger of these related threads still seems reasonable to me; if nothing else it will keep the discussion all in one handy place for those who do wish to engage in it) and, second, a topic near infinite scope and fascination, placed upon the table by yourself- and that is, of course, the puzzling and enchanting enigma that is Aos. I suggest we begin the second conversation with a discourse on my seemingly compulsive abuse of the semi-colon; from there, we might move into other, even more riveting, sub topics- such as my irrational hatred of dwarves. The future is indeed bright.
edit: I edited post 35 before I saw post 36; I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
