Not to my knowledge. The direct relatives we're aware of are few and far
between. It's only until recently that we've been finding 'Sava's left and
right. There's actually a Sava who's a news reporter here in Houston (but no
relation).

True. Hall-Monitors could become a kill-joy. I must admit I enjoy reading your
copious Smack as much as I do looking at your incredible amount of grey...
*cough* I mean your awesome MOCs.
Off-Topic, I meant to comment on it before, and I apologize to you that I
didn't. Your Honjin Stronghold is a fantastic MOC, and has forced me to begin
collecting and hording massive amounts of old grey 1x2 grill bricks.

Bothered me? Perhaps. Annoying for sure. I got another one just today:
http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/3506#reviews
I highly doubt anyone at LEGO charged with finding 'amazing' MOCs would post
something like that and expect to keep his job. Annoying.

Ever since I posted this, I've been bombarded with a review, to each MOC Bobo
(written as BOBO from BOBOWORLD, BTW) reviewed, by someone named King Bob the
Boring (from KingBob Land). Aside from their nicknames and locations being
supsiciously similar in format, every review from King Bob mentions how much
Bobo is an idiot, or how he was a friend of King Bobs but now he's dead. I have
a feeling King Bob and Bobo are one in the same, and he's a Lugnetter, if not
simply a lurker.

True, I shouldn't let it get to me. After getting Slashdotted and all the
lovely criticism I got from that, I suppose my defenses didn't get rebuilt. My
apologies to you, Josh.

The Smack is strong with this one. I tried talking Smack, oh Master, but I was
unable to do so. Everytime I've tried I end up sticking my foot in my mouth,
something I'm just exceedingly good at, and made a lot of enemies here on Lugnet
along the way. At least I can live vicariously through you and your antics.
You big... dumb... moron. Yeah.. How's that?
I'm tempted to just delete my MOCPage account and wash my hands of it, let all
you smack-talkers reign free. I already have a website on which to showcase my
MOCs, and I get enough smack from my weekly "You pathetic virgin with too much
time on your hands and still living in your parent's basement" emails I get
thanks to Slashdot. Silver lining: Used to be a daily email, felt like I had a
subscription. Yeah, it's giving up, letting them win. Ehh.. screw them.
You know, you do make a good point about free-speach, as I desperately try to
get back on topic. J. Spencer Rezkalla makes another good point about non-AFOLs
getting to review a MOC. I guess my suggestions conflict with the spirit of
MOCPages as much as those who post worthlessly do.
I'm just going to go crawl back into my little medieval world now. I think the
Black Falcons are getting too upitty, it's time the Crusaders squash their plans
for freedom and democracy once and for all.
