Dude. Yes. I think if it was one of their regular Indian mofo's id have snapped. This dude sounded pretty cool tho and all I did was mumble a few words and hang up.
OT: has anyone else noticed the new spell checker in firefox 2.0? Brian, get this fucking thing now! In other news, I may still be wasted.

Just got a call back from "Jay". Dont know why I thought it was Don before, but whatever. Dude is from Ontario and seemed really cool.
He starts off the phone call by saying I heard you were unhappy about our recent decision to leave the US, and I'm here to answer any questions you have. He basically just restates everything everyone has heard the past couple weeks and emphasizes that they are publicly traded and that was the major reason. He also said they are definitely planning to come back hard if/when the US regulates it, pointing out what Italy recently did. We shot the shit for like 5 minutes or so, I told him listen, this is my job, either you guys pay me well for what I do, or I play somewhere else. He definitely agreed with me there and said that while their main focus is drawing in more "FISH" (his own words), more VIP rewards for loyal players are in the pipeline. Im still not gonna play there for the time being, but its nice to know that not all of their support are non english speaking retards.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but ...
since we're on the subject of spelling errors....
" YOU or YOU'RE ": This is one of the common grammar errors made by most. "Your" is a possessive pronoun, while "you're" is a contraction for "you are". It's fairly easy to distinguish the two. If you're not sure which one to use, follow this tip. Replace the contraction "you're" with "you are" and see if your sentence makes sense. Let's take your beautiful quote as an example, Brian. "Gavin I will always miss and love you, I admire you're strength. I love you my son." If you replace 'you're' with 'you are', this is what get. "Gavin I will always miss and love you, I admire 'you are' strength. I love you my son." Doesn't make sense does it? You want to replace 'you're' with 'your' - *poss.pronoun*, as in his strength. Therefore, you'll end up with the correct grammatical phrase : "Gavin, I will always miss and love you. I admire your strength. I love you my son." (I added a much needed comma and period, aswell.)  edit: Oh, one more thing...when it comes to sentimental phrases, there is no need for shortcuts. It would read much better if you added another 'you' next to 'miss'. "I will always miss you and..." ps. Sorry mayhem, for the unrelated thread post.

I can't find the post (thread?), but Aeq spelled this all out for Brian quite some time ago. In one eye and out the other.

The funny thing is, I believe you were actually correcting him "nicely" in that post way back when - yet your tips were completely ignored.
