...again, I like the smiley face "grunt"s (eg falcons) much better than (in my
definition) "clones" (eg 4811 fig). The clones are not faceless! They just all
have the same face! OTOH, "grunts" are totally faceless - just a smiley or
something.
That's my take on it, at least.
I'd take grunts over clones any day.

Oh... well... yeah, that too. That hadn't crossed my mind at all. Oh well,
there goes my theory...
*CRASH* *BOOM!*
Ouch...!
