What part of 'but we'd have to kill you' wasn't clear? ;->=

The "we" part. Is this a confirmation you're part of that "we"?;)

Hmm. Doesn't this fly directly in the face of existing treaties on
space-based weapons? At least I thought those treaties were in place.

I was going to say '...in the memo...' so I could later say, well, you didn't
see my signature on the memo, but nevermind...

Humor, what a concept...

Such treaties are painfully complicated in wording, but it sure scared the
bejeebers out of me when I read it. More than that, and I'd start sounding
political. This is a leisure-oriented list, after all.

However, on a 'game' note, I'm still reminded of the background for MB's old
Fortress America...

As they say at work, "I can neither confirm or deny" [fill in the blank].
