    Actually Jaeger was doing his best to help, if you read it, Hallow was heckling and was +q'd (means he cannot speak in the lobby) was dealt with when he refused to shutup.
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

    Failure is not an option -- its a "feature" of Windows.
