Actually I have one more request - NaliTar level. If you'd be so kind to check your archives for this...
And Leo, you psychoanalysis of me is
so accurate you should consider becoming a psychiatrist. No, seriously: Go to hell. I won't even respond to such insults.
You're right about one thing though: I'm in this for ego - but everyone who really likes something is deep down in it for their own ego. I don't get paid for stuff I do so feeding my ego a bit with a few kind words shouldn't be a problem.
As for patch 225e you so value as a finding, ask yourself if it's really worth anything, being just a single subversion older than the publically available 225f. Is it new content for us to play and use in mods? No? Did it turn out that 225f broke something that worked fine in 225e? Em.... no...?
As for the prototypes, it's easy to say you still have something you might have had and deleted, just to get attention... Never thought the person who "has" the prototype might be such case?
