Jun-18-09    Benzol: Did he get a Raw Deal? Jun-18-09    Appaz: I didn't get your joke, but guess it has to do with his first name. Roar was one of the best Norwegian players before our GMs started to arrive. Now, please stop making fun of perfectly normal Norwegian names like Roar, Espen Lie and Odd Lie! :) Jun-18-09    Shams: Only in silence can you hear the deafening roar of the universe. -- Lao Tzu
