Dave, all I said was that you can only have X number of characters
on a server. That doesn't mean MCS doesn't work, it just means MCS
needs either more or bigger servers to handle the same number of
players. And no matter how much time you waste arguing about it, you
*know* that I'm right about this.

Failure to scale to *infinity*, on the other hand, is a law of
physics.
