Your still assuming that that name has meaning to me.  Stick with the
darklands thread, and you will get further.

It would be nonsensical for someone as obviously paranoid as I am to try
and hide myself from one group of people, but give this other group info
about myself.  That would be pretty stupid.  As anyone could plainly
guess, the possibility of being discovered would preclude that action. 
You don't hide by giving your name away.  It wouldn't be in character now
would it?

I prefer cash.  And when I got things, I would accumulate cash before
getting it.  Does that help?  Why would I let them get me anything?  They
wouldn't know the first thing about anything, and for the most part I
wouldn't want them to know the first thing about anything I do, know,
play, read, etcetera.

An oblique reference to Darklands and the Illuminati, that apparently
flew right over certain peoples heads.

It helps having a relative who works for a collection agency.  Makes
things so much..simpler that way.

Earth Final Conflict?

Good with Kilner
OK without Kilner
Sucks without Taelons

(and it's Kilner not Kline like some people on the list would lead you to
believe).

Now if they hadn'ta ditched Kilner in the second season, the show
could'a' been great.  But they ditched him (who they had been for the
entire first season been building background exposition for) and replaced
him with insta-hero, with absolutely no background / exposition (and he
stayed that way).  But still season two wasn'a so bad, but again they
ditched the second decent character they had and replaced her with
insta-bimbo, and they ditched doors altogether which made the first two
seasons...worthless.  Yep, just threw out what they had been doing for
two years, so they could get higher ratings from dumber people.  Then in
the third season they ditched the last decent hero, uber-geek, and
replaced him with insta-genius-teeni-bopper.  Then in the fourth season
they ditched the villains for insta-dumb-vampires, and they ditched
insta-hero for insta-bimbo.  The only redeeming quality of the show was
the villains (the taelons / juridians).  The only reason left to watch
the show is for Von Flores (Sandoval).  The rest is fluff.
