(??) Not to intrude myself where I'm not wanted, but I'm 
assuming your sentiment is based on the message between 
the two Daves that you then proceed to quote, beginning 
with:

Please note that the Daves are talking about Diablo, an 
on-line game with no real GM or moderator, and ways to 
deal with the "PK" phenomenon peculiar to on-line CRPG's.
I can't imagine they intend any of their theories to have
application to a moderated game like TFT.  (And as far as 
diablo-type games go, I think the ideas they were tossing 
around were very interesting...)  Just trying to prevent
any misunderstandings.
