What's wrong with lose-lose? (4.00 / 2)

It is certainly a more easily attainable configuration.

Hmmm... I don't think he is on ET any less... it's my desperate try to be a good girlfriend and share the interests of my "bloke". No need for coming up with a formula for anything.

"...increasing the quality and diversity of the content."

Do you really mean it or is this a provocation? Don't forget you're sitting only a few meters away...
