Wow, I entirely forgot I made this thread. My how I've changed *laughs*.What exactly are you referring to? o.o
I figured since I posted in this earlier, may as well now that I'm a little more familiar with TVT. First off, I know I'm bumping an old thread but I ...

To preempt the inevitable LOLpost after this from Matt not getting the analogy for the millionth timeWhat, do you think you have me all figured o...
... yes, you were arguing it would not have that big an impact, but again, my point is that you never know how big an impact it could have.
And that's thrice you've missed the point now. Re-read my last post, especially the blunt part of it.I didn't really miss the point in the first place...
You missed my point as well Matt: sure, having some sort of theory/belief/whatever makes a difference on a larger scale (for example in the way that y...
