*LAUGH*

It was the youth co-ordinator at the local Southern Baptist chuch that 
introduced us to gaming, once or twice at the church proper.  
Interestingly, within a year, the minister forbade his son to play D&D with 
us, but he could still play Traveller.  He didn't say anything about his 
son playing Ultima, however.
