"Hahaha, yeah, man-flu can kill ya *chuckle* You should look into ionic colloidal silver, you might be surprised what it can aid."

I'll just let my natural defences take care of it, otherwise my natural defences might start getting bored,I've still got lots of snot in me, and my talke type is struggling, but I'm almost over it ;-)

> Long and boring story about the name/ tag ;-)

"I have time ;-)"
You asked for it, a long time ago when dinosaurs ruled the earth, and 56K modems were the latest must have gadget, I stumbled across a free online game called air attack Second World War flight simulator, which was developed years before for the newly emerging virtual reality headsets, before they realised that most people became seasick using them, anyway the game itself was a work of genius, they've obviously spent lots of time and money developing it, visually the game wasn't that good, standard at the time medium to low quality 3-D vector stuff, but the gameplay was spot on, they'd obviously used real pilots to tweak it, it had two versions real and arcade, nobody played the real version, turn to fast dive too fast and the wings came off,  the arcade version still played like a very decent real flight simulator, without the handicap of your wings falling off even if you did physically impossible stuff, the planes themselves flew stall turned and so on like they should, and if you hadn't previously used a simulater or flown a real plane, these things were pretty difficult to control, flaps percentage and all that, anyway the planes British American German and Soviet, two of each, so for the British Spitfire and hurricane, there were two main arenas free for all and teams, teams being you only shot at opposing teams British versus German American Soviet, and so on, free for all was you Vs everybody else, which usually meant a big furball of planes sometimes up to 50 in the centre of the arena, anyhow each plane had the pilots an rank displayed above the plane, and when I started I used my real name, as newbies do, and I was getting shot down like a thing that gets shot down a lot, it didn't take long to work out why, so I needed a name, something that sounded slightly threatening, anyhow the television was on in the background there was a film The Eagle Has Landed and just as I was trying to think of a name to type in, the words mr devilin were shouted by a girl in the film, thus devilin was born, there was a chat room with a lot of Mickey taking, especially by the British against the Americans, there was a sizeable number of RAF people in this game, now the scores for the top kill ratios were displayed once you exited the game, and it wasn't long before I was always number one, and the Americans weren't happy about this, and after a few weeks of getting called names I decided to drop my normal humble persona and start winding these Americans up, the British and others mostly got it, it was just a windup, but the Americans just didn't understand and took it entirely seriously, it all went a bit too far and I ended up with a fan club, I certainly wasn't the best I could think of the least 4 people that were technically better than me, but they tended not to go into the furball preferring the 1 on 1 stuff near the edge of the arenas, and they were mostly British or European, I did enjoy the 1 on 1 stuff but it could take 15 minutes for 1 kill but the furball oh-my it was beautiful and I reveled in the chaos of it ;-)


" The thing I found most surprising and disturbing, was how little I actually thought about things, and how much was preprogrammed responses

Seems we have a lexical misunderstanding, lack of thought leads to pre-programmed reactions, thought leads to a response (re-act = to do again – re-spond = to pledge again, and a pledge implies thought has occurred)."

Apart from the preprogrammed genetic response stuff of which there is more than you can imagine, it's the self-programmed repeat stuff I found most disturbing, the routines that little routines you end up doing without realising you're doing them and the satisfaction one can get through endlessly repeating what you have done before


have fun ;-)
