    haha. Yes I'm curious but I don't have a vested interest. First on my queue I figure it'll take me a couple more days of reading here to plan out the honing stones I can't afford :)

    Hmmm. I'd say he either doesn't know (not the programmer), doesn't think you want that sort of detail, or doesn't want to disclose it. If you want to keep pushing him you're going to have to get...

    There is no such thing as "all at once" with computers. They will leave the Gixen server one at a time (or possibly bundled in some order). They could get randomized a little bit in transit over the...
