Yes, but did multiple guys date your psycho for a year+ at a time, and each guy recommended her to the next guy, until she wound up with you?

I don't think so.

Edit: I of course refer to promotions. Which is flawed, I suppose, since he might have gotten in on the old buddy system, rather than promotions.
I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned.

If he trademarked the term "The Edge" then I don't see how he's going after "Edge" the game, I see a difference. I don't know how he couldn't have realized that when he attacked an indie game, when infarct his company is about gaming, he wasn't going to piss some people off.

I don't think you get this right, he signed "edge",and only later did he sign the term "The edge"
