Am I just wrong in thinking this? I fully agree with your opinions above[1], but you are wrong when you make your own rules based on these opinions, and try to force other people to follow your rules and not the commonly accepted ones. I don't want to play with people who don't follow the

So basically, you are on some sort of drugs or something? I hate to jump to my brother's defence here, but I think that the point was to prove 100% that M37 was really M37 and not M38 or M39 or whatever, thus being able to get rid of the '?' on the GIMPs page. :) I think that in the spirit of a
