    What got up YOUR ass?  My post was entirely correct.  Someone asked the 
question, "What is the purpose of MK3?  It sucks, blah blah blah," And I 
answered it.   If someone who didn't like video games came on here and asked 
what good THEY were, my response would have looked very much like yours, 
being for entertainment.  The entire point of my post, however  was that MK3--or 
any game that this person may not like--is for entertainment.  Whoever posted 
the message wanted to know why MK3 was so popular, because, "It's just 
hitting a bunch of buttons etc., etc.,."  The person didn't like MK3, so was 
touting it as a worthless game.  I don't like MK3, either, but just because I 
don't like it doesn't mean that everyone else doesn't, too.  I was just 
letting the moron know that what's entertaining for one person isn't 
entertaining for everyone, so maybe YOU should think a little before you 
spout your nonsense.  There's a saying: It's better to be silent and be 
thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
