Honestly, it was the same trouble I had getting people into BBSs before TradeWars - too much reading. Same problem that the drive by media has in selling newspapers, people just won’t sit down and read anything other than a paragraph or two.
Then again, I probably do the same on here, skipping over long articles after reading just a paragraph or two. I try to catch myself doing it.
Well now...who DOESN'T do that on occasion and get bit by it? It is an FR tradition! I used to twist my ankle in the holes in my emotional ground that are called John Semmens threads...but now I am wise...:)
