N Todd,

Sorry to annoy your sensibilities, but may I suggest you ask anyone at
Do-It-All Sports in Fond du Lac, WI (they have a website) in July, 2002,
during the bring-your-own-paint day when some people invited by Team
NoLimitz, which had played in some local tournaments, showed up?
Specifically the game where 5 of the players defended against the rest? I
was one of the 5, and I did it because I like playing outnumbered and to
give the opposing team a shot at me, mainly because word had leaked about
the team I used to play for. My play allowed one of my teammates whose
marker had jammed to get back into play, and we held for the 10 minutes.
I'm sure I can dig up the exact date, and plenty of witnesses, but you
probably wouldn't be interested.

If you've played tournament (which I did, 1988 - 1990), you should know that
a backplayer can lay down a lot of fire and stop a group if the player keeps
their cool. Especially on a rec ball field. Judging from your email, I'd
say you couldn't keep your cool long enough to do it. Incidentally, note
when I started playing... experience counts too. Started with a team in
Central Pennsylvania, home team at Sgt. York's field up in Halifax, PA...
won a few games at Wolf's Lair? Anyone whose been in paintball a long time
or knows paintball history might recognize the team. I was known as "Ferg"
or "Radon" back then. I was also a charter member and safety commissioner
of the IPPA. Of course, anyone can make those claims; I have proof for all
of it... so I think I know full well what can or cannot be done. Newb my
a$$...

As for the $700, well, as I said, its a good marker... I'd rather keep it,
but I do need the money. I prefer not to give it and the other stuff
away... but reasonable offers are considered.

Volt, I must say, I surprised myself. It was one of those days you wish you
could play like all the time. Kind of neat. Something I won't get a chance
to do again, regretfully, in light of the current situation.

Oh, and the viruses someone tried sending didn't make it... the firewall and
antivirus work very well. Amazing, I never had the problem until I posted
here.

I'll respond to any civilized replies from here on.

That's pretty cool, than you might know me. Anyone who's been on Earth for a
long time would remember me. I was known as "Jesus" or "The Almighty" and
even sometimes the ever so popular "Sticky-Buns."
