Jacob,
While I understand that to you this list is a form of praise I do not share

(...) I agree with Jeff here. I think Jacob was just posting his OWN PERSONAL favorites. He's allowed to have favorites, and he just wanted to share his favorites with us. No need to flame the poor kid. If someone is disappointed they didn't show up (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
