A vibrant, helpful, and interested user community is a wonderful thing.

However, it is not 'customer service'. Nor is it 'technical support'. User forums are no replacement for these two things, and are certainly absolutely no reason for not having a phone number where your customers can contact you and tell you what's going on.

Because searching the forums to find my problem posted several different times, with the repeated response of STFU N000B (in slightly more urbane language) does not give me a good impression of your company.

And I thought FATAL was bad...

A quote from the Hybrid RPG...uh...something or another:

"Rule # 550: There are 5 parts to this rule. Based on my Rule # 3 & Rule # 6, this: {(0,0) END} is a human, usually a male human, at least in this rpg HYBRID, since women are too complicated to make in my rpg, since creating women in my rpg requires politically incorrect math, but to return to what I was saying before I digressed, is as follows: although I’m using the {(x,y) END} from Champions/Hero to illustrate a point that being {(0,0) END} ought to be for a human, usually a male human, at least in rpg HYBRID. The variable (y) which in Champions/Hero is/was meant to define LS in terms of “END” @ some fraction that of default LS, which its C# depends on the character, better to use C2, since it will give greater LS or Life Span, but less C2 PL or Power Level, if the original C# had been C1 in terms of C2 before using the ½ which will then @ C2 increase PL to 98 C2 which is NOT mutant power but what C2 value for IQ, which is NOT what IQ is @ 98, but IQ is 260 @ 98 C2, which is then reduced to get mutant power(s). If the original C# had been C1 rater than C2, #s for both being different of course, then LS @ C1 would be 10 rather than 20, if starting default LS or 0 END had been @ 20 C1, then PL would increase to 20x2 = 40 C1 rather than 49x2 = 98 C2, but LS or Life Span using C1 is ½ the C2, meaning manipulating points @ C1, gives a 10 C1 LS rather than a 49/2 = 24.5 C2, which is a 15 C1 by X^LOG10(X), where 20 C1 = 49 C2 and 15 C1 = 24 C2, approximately. The ½ is or was supposed to be ½ of C2 for LS or Life Span, but somewhere along the line, it seems to have gotten mistranslated into ½ END..."
