Yes, that's evident.  If I really felt provoking you into doing anything was 
that important I would've made a much more serious effort years ago.  You are 
not going to be able to provoke me into keeping quiet.  Like a cranky old 
drunk I will rant every now and then.  If this annoys the management 
sufficiently then I suspect they will warn me or boot me.

Well, dry your eye and don't, by any means, send me a photocopy of anything!  
I've had most of the rules for over ten years now and, after extensive 
searching, completed my set years ago.  Besides, photocopies are annoying and 
bulky because they're inevitably single sided.  I mean, nobody ever wants to 
use the duplex...

The Librarium was (is?) a great idea.  Hands down the best answer to the sort 
of chattel I posted.  I've got nothing negative to say about the library.  
BTW does the library have a copy of Tollenkar's Lair?

Good for you.  When my search for ITL of a few years back uncovered a source 
with two ridiculously cheap copies naturally I scored 'em both.  Beats paying 
the absurd price of $50 apiece (if not more).  I think any shop that has TFT 
stuff lying around in the dust probably doesn't know what its worth or they 
would be charging the same overheated prices.

If I had a lap top, I'd read it on the throne...wait, maybe there's a 
computer show this weekend...  In all seriousness, I respect the thoroughness 
of your posting.  No doubt the discussion of HT's sanity is a real hoot!  I 
think I'll read that one, laptop or not.

Regardless of what anyone thinks of me or my postings if potential players 
cannot get hold of the rules they cannot play the game.
