Although I do need to say one thing about your analogy. I am someone who has been more than a little responsible for encouraging the popularity of Space Empires IV, the "Space Empires Phenomenon" as you so eloquenly put it, through my work with PBW. I believe I have a right to feel some pride in my accomplishments. However if I were to sit down with a reporter and state unequivically "During my service with PBW, I took the initiative in creating Space Empires." people would have every right to take me to task for it.

That's why I phrased it carefully to be the Space Empires phenomena obviously only Aaron can claim to have created Space Empires itself. And I would not take you to task for that statement, but rather say that you deserved to utter it for your hard work.

I agree that this discussion has probably gone far enough. I like my default position that politicians are mostly truthful until shown beyond a reasonable doubt that they are not. You are of course welcome to believe whatever you want about certain politicians.
