Concerted effort? Yes, I must admit you guys have been very busy.

But keep in mind, there is a fine line between \"concerted effort\" and

plain old \"mindless, rage-induced, impotent slashing and looting\".

The former gets you respect. The latter gets you a burned village.

Springtown crossed that line many years ago with Thakria and paid

the price. Springtown continues to cross that line with Thakria and

now apparently with Parrius as well. I hope you guys enjoy mining for

iron.

Frankly, I'm amazed that the many decent citizens of Springtown continue

to tolerate the antics of people like you and Orinoko. But then, maybe

THEY enjoy mining for iron.
