I believe excoriation, excruciation and a few other -iations are in order for both Peter, Joerg and the Cakean False David for their crimes of wasted bandwidth during the course of recent deliberations, although in David's case I might be convinced (i.e., bribed) to enter a plea for leniency on the grounds of his late arrival to the fray.

Or would that constitute roughing and thus make David subject to penalty kicks? Exactly what *is* the ruling on this, from a Australian Rules Trollball perspective? Might anyone care to risk life and limb...er...volunteer to grab a giant and ask? Please don't ask me *where* you should grab the giant, though; that's between you, it and your local Uleria priestess. ;)

Peter, as much as I enjoy your insightful commentary and keen wit, you really have *far* too much free time on your hands. Have you perhaps thought about taking up a side-hobby, such as underwater basket-weaving, to liberate you from the burdensome chore of refuting Gloranthan heterodoxy wherever it might be found? ;)
