When I read the title of this thread, I was reminded of one of my favorite songs, "A Change is Gonna Come", by Sam Cooke. I am curious as to how and why the author picked this phrase for his thread title.

Donut, please enlighten me, if you would. My curiosity has been piqued.

Oh, and as an avatar, you must allow some other "user" to play their game using you to represent their character. You will take your orders from the "user" even if those orders lead you to certain doom. You had better hope your "user" is not a Player-Killer type, because they end up hated by everyone, and you would be targeted at every opportunity by someone wishing to hurt your "user" by killing you. That is what you have to look forward to as an avatar.

I suggest that you warm up the spam-engine and spam your way to the next level as fast as your fingers can type!

Yes DC, I deliberately chose the lyric from the Sam Cooke song - one of my favourites too. So, do I get to choose who uses me or do I just get picked?

Any applicants to be my 'user'?

You're in trouble now you Bashful Brit, Cloudy has volounteered to be your user. And speaking of Cloudy reminds me of a question that I actually just witnessed on a game show while having dinner :

"Which processed pork product is also used to describe unnecessary use of verbage on the internet?"

And NO, the guy got it wrong, he was not aware of a thing called SPAM!!!!

If one of us had missed that question, we couldn't even show our sigs here anymore - such would be the shame we would endure...
