a concern i've been having though... a few people i know seem to be trying too hard to fit in with our crowd (especially the pennsic folks) and are getting a bad reputation... one in particular who i've had no problems with (although he is a bit young and somewhat annoying at times) has been flamed all over our chat room recently and i don't quite know how to approach this... from what i have read he did some really stupid things a few years ago, but he was 17 then, now he's 20 or 21 and seems to be ok... many of the posts seem to indicate that no-one is willing to give him a second chance now that he's a bit more grown up...
anyway, must go to work now
