Hi,
I wrote an answer to your post that this POS forum ate. I just don't feel like going to that trouble again.
Suffice to say, your post made it pretty clear that you were giving unsolicited advice in addition to answering the question. BlackLightning's post made it sound as if there were two questions, and that he disagreed with me and agreed with you as to the answer of the first. I was simply pointing out his lack of reading comprehension. In addition, though I didn't, I would like to point out his lack of experience in answering the one question that *was* asked: anyone who has only LoD without playing vanilla D2 is incompetent to say whether doing so made them miss any feature of D2 that might have been overwritten by LoD. Think Brood Wars as compared to StarCraft.
OTOH, when I am trying to annoy my children, I will give short and very literal (but uninformative) answers to their inadvertently vague questions. It works quite well, but didn't seem requisite in this case.
You? Giving short answers? Boggles the mind. :)
