Stalinism is much better.

HA HA HA! I WIN.

This is as close as it's going to get on the SWV. Maybe later I'll troll the religion forum, so here it is.

You will be courteous enough to get me a list of these characters who have impacted the Force in such a fashion, then? I'm ashamed to have missed them, since they are apparently so common.

Was that sarcasm?

No just wierd.

Nope. I was recalling the post you made listing 3 points, the first 2 being examples of irony...Hence my recalling your 'List of Two.'
