It amounts to the same thing when there's a computer screen in between the combatants. This forum is currently at a low ebb with respect to the quantity of combatants by the way. There are actually comments by the moderators here and there lamenting the banned members who made things interesting--they really do miss them. That said, you probably really oughta' get in there and pick the aforementioned fights else there might not be much to talk about. Go get 'em, Tiger!
