Greg also would not share it with us until long after he figured it out. He
only decided to use it when it became clear that the Lords used bugs and the
public consciences of the world didn't seem to care. To paraphrase, what's
good for the goose is good for the gander.

Nor is he employed by "the Rich." At last report Greg, like myself, was a
lowly public servant.

But now, it is all public, so let's just accept this fact and move on: we
are all going to use bugs. I can honestly say that I have never once in
this game knowingly used one, but now I am. Also, I'm going to test every
feature that I can think of and see if there is a bug, and if I find it I'm
going to use it. If I find anything that is capable of unbalancing the
game, I will use it on Eridanus first. I will then sell knowledge of said
bug to the highest bidder, thus profiting even more. I won't call anyone
else a cheater for using bugs. Except maybe Eridanus.

Lastly, I think I am going to unsubscribe from the list.
